There was a lot to celebrate on June 12 for MMC! Along with Pentecost and our annual Covenant Celebration, we celebrated five years of being church together. Participants combined singing, scripture, sharing and communion with a weaving project, symbolizing God's unique gifts of the Spirit among us.
Our celebration continued with a love feast, featuring six flavors of homemade ice cream / sorbet and homemade soft pretzels. Mindful of the past and encouraged in the present life of MMC, we're hopeful of continued growing, learning, and sharing God's love to each other, our neighbors in Milwaukee, and beyond.

Milwaukee Mennonite held it's first Covenant Celebration Sunday, June 6th, 2010. This was the culmination of many months of discussion about what it means to be a part of Milwaukee Mennonite. The celebration included remembering our baptisms, affirming our vision and commitment to Milwaukee Mennonite, sharing stories as to what this church has meant to us, and lots of joyful singing. Together, participants created a mosaic as a symbol of God's faithfulness and the work that is being done in and through the church body. |

On February 14 we spent a lovely winter day-long retreat at Bill and Marshall’s farm. Here’s what some of the children and youth liked about the day:
Levi: …feeding the sheep. I liked the feel of their tongues—it feels weird.
Simon: …all the games we played. The slap-the-person-with-the-fish-game, because right as you get to someone they say someone else’s name and so you’re running around. [Editor’s note: the “fish” was a stuffed animal].
Soraya: …sledding! When Sam’s dad made that ramp and you landed, “Ooof!” Also eating. I’d have to say I liked the breakfast burritos best.
Sam: ….singing all the songs! And the Rock-Paper-Scissors contest. I versed Rebecca and Bill. I beat Bill and then Rebecca beat me. It was lucky that my dad won. [Editor’s note: in a thrilling finale, David S. rallied from a 2-0 deficit to Rebecca to take the 2nd annual MMC R-P-S crown].
Sarah: …singing and being with other people.
Lydia: …playing with the kids in the basement and sledding.
Norah: ...sledding, and getting all snowed on!
Dejaquan: ...I loved the group games and the sledding. |
