an Evening to remember the 500th Anniversary of Anabaptism

---

On January 21, 2025, upon the 500th anniversary of the beginning of Anabaptism, all are invited to an evening of remembrance. 

From 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., Eastern Time, in the Park View Mennonite Church auditorium, Harrisonburg, Virginia, we will remember our baptisms, our hymns, and our history. 

A local quartet will lead singing, with hymns chosen from five centuries which will be printed in a booklet for ease of use when singing. A music file will be on the church website for on-line attendees. In-person attendees may keep the song booklet. The main activity of the event is singing hymns from across the centuries

The program is free for all. The Park View Mennonite Church auditorium seats 500, with room for an additional 300 in the fellowship hall. This program is planned with all Mennonites in mind. There will not be a sermon.

The planning committee includes those from the Old Order Mennonite community, the Southeastern Mennonite Conference, and the Virginia Mennonite Conference: Andrea Early, Phil Kniss, Norwood Shank, John Swartz, and Elwood Yoder.
