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.
As we celebrate Anabaptism at 500, we acknowledge the essential role of women which went undocumented for much of our history. 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.
The 57th annual Bluffton Festival of Wheels presented by the Bluffton Lions Club will take place on Friday, July 13 with parts of downtown Bluffton closed to traffic beginning at 1:00 p.m. (rain or shine).

FIRST MENNONITE MEDIA RELEASE__On June 22, starting at 11:00 a.m. at 101 S. Jackson St in Bluffton, the public is invited to a “Frybread Feast,” a meal made up of foods representing several indigenous cultures. Our main dish is the iconic Frybread Taco.
The church is hoping for generous donations to support the work of the organization Coalition to Dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery.
Mennonites are celebrating a milestone–500 years of Anabaptism, the theological framework of their faith. The Doctrine of Discovery is a papal bull from the 1400s that was used to justify the theft of Indigenous Lands and the ongoing genocide of Indigenous Peoples across the world.
