Sunday, November 29
Our Elder-in-Charge (David Wenger) asked if I could find two photos that describe our congregation – for a district meeting in 2016 – and submit them to the person who asked for them.
You may be surprised to know that I have a lot more than two. 🙂 However, I didn’t have one of morning worship, so while Cerwin was away hunting, I sat on the balcony to see if I could capture a satisfactory picture.
Singing during opening devotions.
If I had been the only person on the balcony, I may have tried to be more creative, but since there were quite a few people up there, I stayed put in my seat – trying to not be distractive.
Dave was the preacher on duty for the morning.
Benediction
Heading home following the service.

The next two pictures are what I submitted for district meeting.
It is difficult to find only two pictures that describe our church – even when using a collage. Special thanks to Nate Minnich for the Manheim Project photos.
There was no room for Bible school, youth activities, prayer meeting, small groups, Christmas caroling, evening worship, love feast/communion, Sunday school class activities, cleaning, mowing yard, snow removal, sewing circle, bulletin setup and printing, our official board (preachers and deacons), upkeep and repair (new bench cushions were installed about a week ago), plus all the day-to-day personal ministry that goes on in my favorite congregation.
In a thriving congregation, there are so many activities that it’s not easy to find just a few that represent the church. You’ve done an excellent job of finding photos to do this — they might consider using more!
They asked for 2 from each congregation, so more may overwhelm them. She did like the collage. 🙂
