Rejoice Devotionals For some time now, our REJOICE devotionals have been available to our church family. They are distributed via the Information Desk on a quarterly basis. These devotionals are now available online at www.mennoniteusa.org/rejoice/index.php. If you are able to access these online, our church could reduce our costs by reducing the number of paper versions we purchase. Please contact Tom Voth at tvoth@firstmbchurch.com to indicate your willingness to do this.
