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 pants 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.
