Hey All, Yep, you knew it would happen sooner or later. We, the Texas Mennonites would eventually begin church planting among the non-Texas Mennos. I believe we've now reached critical mass. With our family, Ben, Marike & Calvin, and Megan Kemp all here in Harrisonburg, I think we may have to start our own church -- one that WILL enter MCUSA, unlike many of our Virginian brothers and sisters. EMU is encouraging this church planting idea, provided that the many young Austin Sarahs (and the non-Sarahs too) consider attending school here. All this to say, y'all now have a very good reason to come visit this "hill country." And fear not, I'm getting pretty good with my back yard smoker so I can still supply you with Texas food, even in this land of smokeless BBQ.
