Featured speaker, David Nickel, has local roots
The Bethel Mennonite Church Harvest Mission Festival will be held Sunday, November 2, beginning with a 10 a.m. worship service, at which David Nickel, son of Jim and Marlys Nickel of Mountain Lake, will be the featured speaker. Nickel is the chaplain at the Orange Correctional Facility in Hillsborough, North Carolina.
All are invited to a meal celebrating the harvest in the Fellowship Hall following the morning service. A turkey dinner will be served. A generous donation is encouraged for the meal, as any money left after expenses for the food will be donated to David’s prison ministry, enabling those at the prison to buy Christmas gifts for their children.
In addition, David will meet meet with the the youth on Sunday evening, at 7 p.m., in the home of Pastor Galen Kauffman, wife and family. All area youth are invited.
