REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. John 14:1-2

Today we remember 12 individuals from our congregation who went to their heavenly reward this past year. They are: Owen Schlabach, Brian Hummel, Pete Gingerich, Clara Schlegel, Esther Hershberger, Oneta Immel, Raymond Troyer, Mary Stutzman, Sam Bontrager, Albert Slabach, Ernest Honaberger, Margaret Honabarger.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will reward to me on that day - and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8

Wednesday Eve Adult Studies

During the month of January several individuals from our congregation will be sharing their faith stories. Brian Miller
