Anabaptist Events in Europe
You are welcome to attend any of the following events. It is our hope you would come and get to know Jesus Christ through His teachings, and to share in fellowship with His followers there.
December Bible Conference
Every first weekend in December, the Shropshire Hills Mennonite Church centred around Shrewsbury (UK), hosts a conference that usually draws around 200 people, being about half Nationwide Mennonites affiliated with their church, from the United States, and the other half being mostly mainland European believers. Talks are held in English, but translation is available into Russian and German. It is held at Cefn Lea Park:
Cefn Lea Park
Dolfor, Newtown, Powys
Wales SY16 4AJ
A donation corresponding to the costs (in 2022, it was £76.50 per adult) is encouraged but not required, as they say “Please do not stay at home just because you cannot afford the full amount.”
Last year’s program included, aside from singing and devotions, the following lectures:
The beauty of face to face communication by Paul Kauffman
Anabaptist view of man by John Baer
Biblical headship expressed by John Beachy
Singles who please the Lord by Paul Kauffman
Nurturing a living faith in our children by James Byler

It is necessary to register in advance, by emailing some details to Kenneth Witmer (witmer@ukmm.biz). When the invitations are sent out I will put one up here - otherwise, just email Kenneth at the aforementioned email address to ask for one.
Dunmore East Christian Fellowship Family Conference
From Friday 21 - Sunday 23 July there is a family conference held by the Dunmore East Christian Fellowship near Waterford, Ireland. I’m passing on the invitation below with permission from Dan Yoder and Anthony Miller. Reach out to Anthony for the program.
As usual, we plan to begin with an evening meal on Friday, the 21st, and have a time of introductions and fellowship. Then there will be a number of messages throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday, along with the three meals on both of those days.
This year we have several speakers who will be sharing the teaching times. We are very thankful that Brother Ed Yoder plans to be here to share several messages during the Conference. Some of you will remember Ed and Lois and their family from the time that Brother Ed was a pastor in the church here. They lived here for about five years. It will be very good to have them with us for this time this summer.
Hosea Troyer, from Virginia, USA will also be speaking. Brother Hosea is administrator of Faith Mission Home, a home and training school for special needs children. During one of the message times, he will be sharing some information about the work of FMH. Hosea’s wife, Bernice, will speak at one session that is for ladies only.
So we extend a warm welcome to you to join us for this year’s Conference. If you plan to come, it will be helpful if you let us know as soon as you can so that we can plan lodging accordingly.
We look forward to hearing from you and we sincerely hope that you can join us for the Conference again this year.
May God bless you.
Dan Yoder and
