• The long-time ministry of Darrel Hostetler, who passed away January 31 at the age of 91. Darrel had served North Goshen as an assistant pastor; he also gave his life to music ministry, teaching at Iowa Mennonite and Bethany Christian Schools and leading area choral groups. His wife Marian served as the first female moderator of IMMC; his daughter Brenda also served as moderator of IMMC and on the pastoral team at Benton for 27 years. Sharon attended Darrel’s memorial service at North Goshen on February 4.
• The work of IMMC administrative coordinator Clayton Gladish. Clayton embodies the vision of IMMC, acting with Grace, Love, and Peace as he supports staff and the wider IMMC community in whatever ways he can. He is our event planner, communications coordinator, administrative support specialist, and more. We rely on his proficiency in coordinating countless logistics, expertise in technology and print media, and willing and competent responses to countless questions that come his way. We are beyond grateful for Clayton and his ministry with us at IMMC!
