Re: Growing Up Mennonite
We have invited ALL my siblings and their families for dinner this Sat. There should be around eighty - would be more but my little sis and family can't come.
We have had rain for three weeks... so far it looks like a nice weekend, thank God!

Are you the only one in your immediate family who has left the Mennonite faith, or are there others?

I was the first to leave. My four older sisters are still "Horse and Buggy" Mennonite. However, a younger brother and sister drive cars but attend a very conservative church and still dress "plain". My youngest Brother and family attend a UPC. And my oldest Brother is something of a deist currently.

Glad you like it. You would even appreciate it more if you knew my Mom. She can really be a blast!
