The public is invited to an outdoor historical and inspirational service on Sunday, July 19, at 6:30 p.m. at the 1855 Allegheny Mennonite Meetinghouse, 39 Horning Road, Mohnton.

He will discuss a large, carefully cataloged deposit of correspondence from 1616 to 1784 that relates to the experiences of Mennonites from Switzerland and Germany who founded the Lancaster Mennonite community.
Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs as well as copies of the "Church and Sunday School Hymnal." For confirmation of the event or for more information, readers may contact Grace at jgsen@windstream.net or 717-278-8459.
