The outline of the ship, stretching the length of the basketball court and acting as a frame for the play’s action, is one-tweflth the size of the actual ship. In my opinion, Mr. Dewalt’s idea to create icebergs from plastic bottles was brilliant. The blocks of bottles on stage were crowd-sourced from the Reiffton School community, assembled by a few very dedicated individu- als, and used to create the frozen sea and other settings throughout the play. I chose to expand on this idea with a 10 foot diameter hemisphere made of plastic water-bottles hanging center stage; similar in appear- ance to the Titanic’s crystal chandeliers (as seen on the “Elegance” bul- letin board). I believe this floating sculpture is also quietly reminiscent of the hidden underside of an iceberg. For me, the contemporary relevance in this visual re-telling lies in the knowledge that there are immense masses of trash floating in our oceans and rising in landfills. I believe the story of the Titanic can inspire dili- gence and foresight in the management of our production and consump- tion. Almost all of the materials used in these art pieces can and will be recycled. The art Core group students probably did not expect to use so much math or physical labor in the creation of art. Bright and energetic, they rose to the occasion and were outstanding to work with. In the end I hope they understood that math was one more tool in service to the creation and communication of creative ideas. All Reiffton School faculty, staff and administration involved with this project have my sincerest thanks for their cooperation. A special thank you goes to the Reiffton School APT for seeing the human and educa- tional value of the arts in our schools and for making this experience possible in our community. Rich Houck, Exeter Class of ‘90.

Berky and his “Larkland” Changing Times Recollections by Pastor Bob Gerhart The handsome clock face in the photograph is from an Abram Schwartz grandfather clock that was recently donated to the Mennonite Heritage Center by Emily Clemens. Built circa 1825, the clock still has original green paint. This thirty hour clock was built towards the end of the era of thirty hour clocks. Times were changing and eight day clocks were more commonplace. We are grateful to the individuals and families that consider donating artifacts to the Mennonite Heritage Center. Our collections committee carefully reviews potential donations and considers factors such as whether the artifact is documented and tells a story of a particular time in this community, whether it is unique to our collection or whether we do already have similar items. Accepting an artifact means that we make a commitment to care for and house the piece appropriately as well as share the artifact with the public through exhibits and programs. Another important component of the collections are congregational collections. Records, such as annual congregational meeting minutes, are essential for researchers when they are working on congregational and conference Abram Schwartz clock.

  • Jacob Moyer's Mennonite Church Records: an Interpretive Sketch by E
    Jacob Moyer's Mennonite church records: an interpretive sketch by E. Reginald Good Moyer Jr. (1792-1831) . A comparison of the handwriting in the Bible with other signed let- ters confirms this.3 Jacob Moyer immigrated to Canada in the autumn of 1799 with his wife and four children, all boys, in the company of at least five other families.° They settled in the vicinity of the Twenty Mile Creek, now Town of Lin- coln, where Jacob and his two friends -Amos Albright and Abraham Moyer -had scouted out land in the spring of the same year and had put down a $40 deposit on 1100 acres of land.' Jacob apparently bought the Bible in- scribed with his name while still in Penn- sylvania - it was a Christopher Sauer Bible printed in Germantown, Pennsylvania in 1776. The 1799 purchase date would indicate that Jacob had acquired the Bible specifically for transport to his new Canadian home. A Mennonite congregation was organized at the Twenty in 1801 and Jacob Moyer was ordained preacher there in 1802.6 Five years later in 1807 he was cofirmed bishop .' Moyer is the earliest known resident bishop in Ontario, and probably the only one there, until 1808 when Abraham Grove arrived in York County, having been confirmed bishop Barbara Coffman, Reg and Kathy Good examine the Jacob Moyer Bible housed at the Jordan in Pennsylvania expressly for this field.' Grove Museum of the Twenty, Jordan, Ontario. Barbara recalled the location of the Bible when Reg labored only in the York County district so and Kathy, the MennoVan team for the Mennonite Bicentennial, were in the Niagara area.

  • Ministry Through Tragedy
    MINISTRY THROUGH TRAGEDY: SPIRITUAL HEROES OF TITANIC 1 Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition Ministry Through Tragedy INTRODUCTION Church attendance often increases in the wake of a large-scale tragedy and the sinking of Titanic was no different. As the news that the “unsinkable” sank, people seeking solace filled pews on both sides of the Atlantic. Almost as soon as she slipped beneath the North Atlantic, Titanic became an analogy for the sinfulness of man’s excessive pride. Reverend Dr. Charles Parkhurst, a Presbyterian preacher in Manhattan, saw the luxury of Titanic as a symbol of all that was wrong in America at that time. He preached “Grand men, charming women, beautiful babies, all becoming horrible in the midst of the glittering splendor of a $10,000,000 casket!” A week after the sinking, a Methodist preacher in Chicago, Reverend James O’May, rallied against the lifestyles of Titanic’s pleasure-seeking passengers: “It was a huge ocean joy ride and it ended where joy rides generally stop.” In Southampton, England, the Bishop of Minister and social reformer Charles Winchester declared that “Titanic, name and Henry Parkhurst, in 1892. Library thing, will stand as a monument and warning to of Congress, Napoleon Sarony human presumption.” Days after the sinking, Swiss theologian Karl Barth argued that the sinking was God’s judgment on a society that allows a few individuals to “compete with each other at the expense of everyone else in a mad and foolish race for profits.” Religion also played a role in the Ship’s story before it became fodder for moralizing sermons.

This approach emphasized living books, timelines, maps, and a defined body of knowledge that students ought to know. Ten years later, a group at Faith Builders set out to turn the dreams and ideas into a useable curriculum. The result is Living History Threads. We are delighted to offer this curriculum for the glory of God, for the strengthening of the church, and for the good of our children.
