Rev. Matthew Yoder, pastor of Grace Mennonite Church, Pandora, Ohio, came to Bluffton University the week of Oct. 28, 2024, for fall semester’s Spiritual Life Week. Yoder provided the Forum and Chapel messages and worked with students as they explored Ephesians 6:10-18 and the theme “Put on the Armor of God.”
“Often when we are shielded by God’s armor, we don’t even realize,” said Haylie Lero, senior pastoral assistant. “This Spiritual Life Week is about being purposeful about using God’s armor, especially the word of God.”
