Life with the Amish - FREE
Join us Wednesday, November 20 at 1:30 PM with Dave Stobbe as he tells us about his experience of his time visiting an Amish Community!
A number of years ago, while visiting family studying at University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, I came across Shipshewana a small town nestled within a bustling Amish area . While there I took a tour in Menno-hof, a large interpretive centre which tells the story of Amish, Mennonite and Hutterite Anabaptists. I discovered that the staff were volunteers and have since hosted tours for a month, seven times.
While visiting the picturesque Amish area I developed friendships with many Amish people and I’ve come to appreciate their unique lifestyle.
For my audiovisual presentation, I’ll wear my Amish p
ants and hat, and give an overview of Amish history, lifestyle, family life employment, church, technology use and more.
I welcome hearing about your experiences with Amish folk and your curiosity and questions.
