Unmasking the End Times

High School age youth are looking at:
Adventures with the Anabaptists
by Jeanne Grieser and Carol Duerksen
Ten active sessions, adaptable to junior or senior high, introduce youth to the major personalities, events, and issues of the Anabaptist movement in Europe in the 16th century. Each session has a Bible study component and teaches youth through storytelling, role-play, and discussion that connects the issues to their own lives in the 21st Century. The debate over infant baptism opens up the question of what it means to own a mature faith. The martyr stories challenge youth to a discipleship that counts the cost of remaining true to one's convictions and commitment to Christ. This study grounds Mennonite youth in the roots of their faith tradition in a fun, accessible, and relevant way.
The adult group is currently focusing on Mennonite History using a guide book titled:
"From Anabaptist Seed - The Historical Core of Anabaptist-Related Identity"
by C.Arnold Snyder.
Lively discussion of the history of our faith happens in the corner of the chapel at 9:30 AM Sunday mornings.

Anabaptists an other reformers expanded their awareness of what was in the bible when it was printed in their mother tongue. Study of scripture is still encouraged as it is the basis of faith and practice in the Mennonite tradition.
