I spent some time a week ago just north of North Manchester at the Eel River District of the Old German Baptist Brethren. It was nice to be back in a worship setting that in some ways I grew up in and even make some connections from my time as a pastor in the North Manchester area as well as my family ties (my mother's side of the family is OGBB). It is funny how most of the "members" warmed up to me once the family connections were made. Like I've mentioned before I grew up with one foot in the Church of the Brethren and the other in the OGBB. I think it is easy for me to romanticize about what it would be like to become a member but know that is not where my truest sense of identity lies.
I'm blogging because they are now in the middle of their Annual Meeting taking place this year in Lawrence, Kansas. The Dunker Journal has posted some links to the local paper out there with photos of the OGBB preparing for Annual Meeting you can view them by clicking here. Updates can be found here and here.
