Glen Guyton, MC USA Executive Director, was featured speaker at Allegheny’s annual “Celebration”
event at Laurelville. Some 91 registrants – delegates, families, youth and children – participated in hymn singing, delegate ‘worshipful work,’ informational seminars, and worship around the theme “The Wind of Transformation.” West Philadelphia Mennonite Fellowship, under the direction of Anne Yoder, led worship. Bob Yoder (AMBS), Sarah Gurule (MMN), Darryl Nestor (Bluffton Univ.), Steve Bustos (Everence), Glen Guyton (MC USA), Luke Schrock-Hurst (MCC), Veva Mumaw (EMU/EMS) and Leah Rittenhouse (Laurelville) represented their organizations throughout the weekend.
As is our custom, we shared the Lord’s Table during Sunday morning worship, with over 100 participants, in
cluding guests from local congregations. Twelve of seventeen congregations were represented by 41 delegates for the business portion of the weekend, which consisted mostly of reporting with no weighty decisions to be made. There was also plenty of time for swimming, hiking, table games, ice cream and sharing some rocks in the rocking chairs outside the Guesthouse.
