• February is Black History Month, with invitation to celebrate the voices of black Americans who have shaped our church and our nation. We invite you to join in the celebration by engaging and learning from black authors!
• We celebrate the life and ministry of Ron Kennel, who served as a congregational pastor for about 40 years. In our conference, his service included pastoral ministry at North Goshen Mennonite and Clinton Brick Mennonite Churches. He also served as a congregational coach for Benton Mennonite for many years. Ron passed away February 3; we hold his family in our prayers.   
• Quinn Brenneke’s call and affirmation of his ministry will be celebrated through ordination at Prairie Street Mennonite Church on March 2, with Sharon Yoder officiating. Quinn began pastoral ministry at Prairie Street in March 2020.
