In a celebration of stories that transcend boundaries, Mennonite Life hosts its Annual Storytelling Night on Monday, August 4, 7 p.m. at Landisville Mennonite Church.
Throughout the evening, storytellers Hyacinth Stevens and Kevin Ressler will relate a series of alternating short-form anecdotes from their lives.
Hyacinth Stevens is a bishop in LMC’s New York District and works as Executive Director of Mennonite Central Committee East Coast. She spent 12 years pastoring King of Glory Tabernacle in the active Christ-centered community in the Bronx where she was raised. She is passionate about embodying Anabaptist peace witness and bringing the Good News to her community wherever she goes. Hyacinth and her husband Benjamin have four children.
Kevin Ressler is the CEO at Alliance for Health Equity and former President and CEO of United Way of Lancaster County, among other non-profit leadership roles. He is rooted in his identity as a person of faith as he works for an equitable peace and justice for all, through listening and honoring the voices in the community. Kevin aims to challenge and transform unjust systems in Lancaster City, where he and his wife Melissa are raising their family.
This event is complimentary. Mennonite Life welcomes donations to support our storytelling and conservation efforts.
A recording of the event will be available on Mennonite Life’s YouTube channel the week following the event.
