Zurich Mennonite Church turned 100 on March 27th and has a year of special events planned to celebrate God’s faithfulness and blessings.
On March 30 celebrations started with a retro worship service that reminiscent of the first worship service held in 1908. Some of the old customs observed that day were a cappella singing, kneeling for prayer, all male leadership, and segregated seating with men and boys on the right side and ladies and girls on the left side of the church. Elder Dennis Estep led the worship service. Pastor Phil Wagler and former Pastor Clayton Kuepfer presented challenging messages and deacon Don Gingerich affirmed the message.
A “Home Coming Weekend” is planned for June 20 to 22 and friends and former members are invited back to help celebrate. Pre registration is encouraged; call the church office at 519 236- 4933 for more information.
