Sunday morning Vernice, Carol and I worshiped with the Fairfield Amish Mennonite Church just south of Tampico. The worship service included quite a bit of singing, a devotional sermon, the regular sermon, witness to the sermon, and kneeling for prayer a couple of times. After visiting for a while after the service, we headed to the pastor's home for dinner. We visited until about 3:30. What a great experience! One thing we talked about is how different Anabaptist groups "draw the line" of separation from the world in different places. I ponder where we draw the line. I continue in Acts. Today, I travel to Goshen to attend the Goshen Mennonite Historical Societies meeting about Switzerland's Tauferjahr 07. I also plan supper with Jenna! Jesus is alive for our continued journey. + Cal + European Log July 22, Sun - Worship with Enkenbach Mennonite Church. The pastor gave a sermon using the illustration of doors. Occasionally through the sermon he would summarize in English for us. We do go through many doors where God hopes we would enter. Jesus is with us on this journey to help us discern which doors are the way of God. We toured the church building construction of a new kitchen and fellowship hall. After that we walked back home passing by a memorial that mentioned the PAX Boys. The Mennonite in Enkenbach arrived as refugees relocated with the help of MCC and with the PAX Boys building houses and the church. 600 were relocated from Prussia. They had been through terrible situations with the German army invading and the Russians forcing the Germans back out. MCC opened a new door. The PAX Boys hung doors for them to walk through to a new life in a new Mennonite community. We walked to a near by Italian Restaurant for lunch. We visited with Andreas and ate a great lunch. We rested in the afternoon. Carol and I headed to Kaiserslautern and worshiped with a church plant group. We knew all the song tunes and were able to read the German to sing. There were about 20 people there as they are reaching out the area around them. Another interesting and fulfilling Sunday in Europe. July 23, Monday -Visited Weierhof, a Mennonite village with the German Mennonite Archives and Library. Gary Waldner told us of what is going on in the Churches in Germany and their archives. He pulled out a Martyrs Mirror and Asbund printed in the 1700's. These came from the family of Joseph Zehr. We were able to look them over. The beginning pages had genealogy recorded in them. We got the keys to the Mennonite Church and looked around. We also explored the Cemetery and walked through this predominantly Mennonite town. Next we explored Heidelberg. We walked by the university where many great philosophers studied and conversed. We rode up a very steep hill by train to the Heidelberg castle. This castle was a whole complex of walls and buildings. Then we headed to Gerd and Julianne’s house. Over the past nine years, Gerd’s family has been at Starland HB three times while we were there too. We had supper with them and took a walk in the village. It was so special to be at there house. July 24, Tuesday - Gerd, Julianne, Carol and I began the day reading scripture and singing together - a huge blessing! In the morning, we headed to a castle/palace on the edge of Ludwigsburg. What an expression of the Baroque period art!!! I have never seen anything like it in all my life. We walked about 1.2 miles on our tour. Late afternoon, after Sheila, Mya and Vanna were home from school we took of for Bad Wimpfen. We explored this walled, 12th century, medieval village. We climbed to see the view over the wall. We checked out on of the village churches. We all ate a late supper. Gerd, Julianne, Carol and I stayed up an conversed in a lot of areas. *** |
