“New Danville Mennonite is partnering with New Providence Mennonite to launch a new church initiative in the Southern End. We are starting Sunday nights in May to see how it goes,” said Robert Brody, pastor at New Danville Mennonite Church and co-bishop of Lancaster Conference. He is collaborating with New Providence Mennonite Church pastor William Higgins to lead the new venture, which steering committee member Eric Warfel dubbed “Sunday Night on Main.” “The premise is based on three M’s: meal, music, and message,” Brody explained. “We believe Jesus spoke to people around a meal, and that’s important.” “Sunday Night on Main” has been loosely patterned off a church in Washington state.

“A Touch Of Country” To Feature Motorcycle Ride To Benefit McGraw Tribute Artist Make-A-Wish Foundation Max Armstrong, the youngest of five children, grew up in a tightly knit family that became the Armstrong Family Singers.
