Cramping your style is an idiom used when you are asking someone if your activity is preventing them from acting naturally or enjoying their time. The idiom is believed to have started in the early 1900s as a saying to impede or restrict one’s actions or expression. The word cramp was used intentionally due to the pain caused by leg cramps. Leg cramps can definitely restrict your actions and style. 

On Friday afternoon and evening, June 13, Bluffton's downtown will be transformed by the presence of hundreds of antique and custom vehicles of all kinds. The Bluffton Lions Festival of Wheels will also feature a DJ, food trucks and a 50/50 raffle. For more information, see our June 11 article.

FIRST MENNONITE CHURCH MEDIA RELEASE__100 Years of Mennonite Women: a Musical will be performed at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, June 20 at Bluffton's First Mennonite Church.

In the 20th century, the founders of our women’s organizations dared to claim a role specific to women and honor its importance. At First Mennonite the “Women in Mission” group went through years when their work sometimes felt futile, exuberant decades of high turnout, and times of self-reflection and even doubt, to emerge victorious and vibrant.
