*Bergthal Church's Items Live On
*
The Bergthal Mennonite Church in Pawnee Rock, KS, recently closed their
doors due to dwindling numbers, ending a long history that began in 1875.
In anticipation of the church building being razed this fall, many items
from the church will find new homes. The communion table has gone to an
area church. Hymnals will make their way to Austin Mennonite Church in
Texas. Stained glass windows have been claimed by persons for whom they
have sentimental meaning. Other items have been salvaged by the church
people, or donated to the Re-Use It Center in McPherson, KS. Some windows
and pews will be sold at auction. Gilberto Flores, WDC Associate Conference
Minister, is working to connect newer churches in need of items with what
Bergthal has to offer (wooden pulpit, folding chairs, wooden chairs, sound
system equipment, round tables).
