December 13: Glen Landis "What Christ Teaches About Non-resistance" Young and old, junior youth and youth are encourage to attend the Wednesday evening series as we look at the nonresistance stance from our Mennonite history and perspective.

We believe that Jesus Christ is our peace, and in him the foundation for a new creation has been laid.
Through his death and resurrection,
he has reconciled us to God and given the church the ministry of
reconciliation in the world. Led by the Holy Spirit,
we follow Christ in the way of peace, doing justice, and
practicing nonresistance in the face of violence and warfare.
