Learn MoreWe’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?
Chances are, someone else has wondered the same thing! Start here with your questions.

Indigenous Peoples taught the Herr family and other Mennonites how to hunt game, clear heavily forested land, and how to identify native plants.
