Sunday Morning

This morning we attended Jubilee Mennonite Church; a church about half the attendance of an average Eighth Street morning. However, there were many more children than at ESMC. In fact, Pastor Duane said during a Q&A session that he could, “count on one hand the number of attenders at Jubilee that were older than he was … and still have fingers left over!”

We worshipped with this vibrant, younger congregation by singing praise songs, listening to children’s time by Kevin “KJ” Jaberg, Scripture reading by Patty Yoder and Jonathan Schrag, and the Sermon by Kevin “Preacher” Farmwald. We then were blessed to share Communion with this sister congregation. Dale Way, Carolyn Shetler, and Kevin assisted Miss Elaine, Pastor Duane, and Joel Beachy with the bread, juice, crackers, and grapes. I loved being able to experience a different way of worshipping and communing with God’s people. Bless their hearts.

It was also great to finally meet Miss Fannie who was visiting this Sunday due to our presence! Bless her soul!
