Doing a Project to Represent Our Church

Sunday, November 29

Worship (1)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.

Worship (2)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.

Worship (3)Dave was the preacher on duty for the morning.

The next two pictures are what I submitted for district meeting.

Worship (8)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.
