Sonnenberg Mennonite Church .:. Ohio Conference of the Mennonite Church USA

As we have experienced hospitality in all its many forms, so we want to extend that hospitality, that invitation, to those around us, not just the common understanding of hospitality as food, fellowship and fun, but coming to a deeper understanding and appreciation for the hospitality, that has been offered to us, as signified by Jesus’ invitation, take and eat, this is my body; and drink, this is the blood of the new covenant. What does it mean to accept the invitation God offers to us through Jesus? What does it mean to turn down or reject that invitation? And how can we, who have been welcomed back from our rebellious wanderings to the banquet table of God’s love and forgiveness, become the means and messengers by which the invitation is extended to those who are still wandering far from home.

About Sonnenberg Mennonite

THE PURPOSE of the Sonnenberg Mennonite Church is to establish and nurture Christian life by providing opportunities for worship, fellowship, instruction, witness and service under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and led by the Holy Spirit, in response to God's love in Christ Jesus and in accord with the testimony of the Scriptures.

OUR COMMITMENT as a congregation is to grow spiritually through personal reading of God's Word, meditation and prayer, walking in close relationship with Jesus the Word; to be a loving and forgiving community of faith.

--Baptism is for those who make a voluntary confession of faith and commit themselves to live as disciples of Jesus Christ.
--Each member is responsible to witness for Christ by word and deed.
--Members need one another for encouragement and growth.
--Living as a disciple of Christ means promoting justice and refraining from force and violence in all human relationships.
