Young adults participate in panel
Five young adults shared how they have experienced the world and the church at the Wednesday afternoon delegate sessions. Picture from left, the panelists are: Hinke Loewen-Rudgers, Peter Epp, Darren Kropf, Alissa Bender and Nicole Cober Bauman.
Bicyclists built to last
Gary Horst, left, pastor of Wilmot Mennonite Church in New Hamburg, Ont., joined his relatives—Doug Horst and Andrew Horst—in making the delegate sessions a week-long stopover on their 1,000-kilometre bike trip from Victoria to Calgary. Gary spent six months training for the ride over the Rockies and is making the trip as part of a larger effort to cycle across the country. “Get ’er done” is the group’s motto, according to Doug.
The energy spills over
Attendees crowd out the door to learn more about “being good stewards of the Earth’s energy,” a Wednesday afternoon session led by Darren Kropf and Jane Snyder.
