Letter: Remembering my first Swiss Day

Posted by Staff on June 26, 2024 - 6:00am

Swiss Day, June 30, 2024
1:00 p.m. at First Mennonite Church, 101 S. Jackson, Bluffton, Ohio

Please bring a hot and cold dish and your own table settings. All are welcome. ALL!

By Kaye Phillips

After his invitation, I ventured into Marbeck Center on a Sunday afternoon to find something very special. It was the start of my love for this tradition.
