Special Events

First Sunday of the Month | Communion and Potluck Fellowship Meal

We practice open communion, in other words, all are welcome to the Lord’s Table. Worship ends about noon. Hymnals are gathered and put away. Chairs are rearranged in the sanctuary and tables are set up. Food is set out on a long table. If it looks we might be short on food, someone rushes out for pizza or chicken. We gather around the table and note the special dishes and sauces, say or sing a prayer, and then enjoy food and visiting around the table.

Fifth Sunday Worship

When there is a fifth Sunday in the month we try to make it a little different – often no sermon, more singing, etc.

Mennonite Disaster Relief (MDS)

Boots, Buckets & Barrows

Boots, Buckets & Barrows showed at Austin Mennonite Church on August 11, 2018.

The show and auction were a success raising over $3,000!

Click here for a preview of the production!

This production was a partnership with Mennonite Disaster Services, an event that is part theater show-part auction, to raise awareness, funds, and volunteers for MDS. The show is interrupted two times to auction off buckets of home-related items – homemade breads and kitchen goods, games, or a bucket of house tools compiled by the hosting congregation. Ted and Jeff run the auction process, with often hilarious, but effective, results for fundraising.
