About Us
What are we about? We’re about Mennonite Life in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and we’d love to help you learn more.
We’re working towards a world where people learn their own and others’ stories, across boundaries.
Mennonite Life does our small part in bringing about that world. We share items and stories featuring the lived experiences and faith values of Lancaster Mennonites and interrelated communities.
What’s your story? How are you preserving it, and who have you shared it with?
