Slideshows

I’m working on two slideshows for Bloomingdale Mennonite Church – one of pictures from the past year and one of pictures from many past years. These will be shown at the Annual meeting in May. I have pictures that Dad took, Volker took, as well as pictures from various people from the congregation. I am working on getting permission to use background music from Bryan Moyer Suderman.

The lamp in this picture was found under the steps when the church was renovated in 1984. Once it had been part of a “chandelier” that hung in the sanctuary. During the 200th Anniversary celebrations it was used as a logo.

  • Now the temperature has dropped; the forecast low for tonight is 4°C.
