Worship in the Woods is the summer vespers series of the Brethren & Mennonite Heritage Center. Join us Sundays at 7 PM from July 3 through August 14 in our beautiful, outdoor, wooded amphitheater!

This week Seth Crissman and Greg Yoder will lead our time of worship together.

Seth Crissman and Greg Yoder will be sharing music and faith formation practices from The Soil and The Seed Project. The Soil and The Seed Project was established in 2021 to nurture faith through music, art, and Little Liturgies for daily and weekly use in the home, following the liturgical calendar. Seeds for the project were planted while Seth Crissman, project director, was a seminary student pursuing his Masters of Divinity from Eastern Mennonite Seminary (EMS) in Harrisonburg, VA. During his studies at EMS, Crissman was encouraged to develop prayer practices that incorporated music and songwriting, areas in which he had regular practice as a songwriter for The Walking Roots Band (TWRB). Greg Yoder is a music educator and songwriter (and former director of the Brethren & Mennonite Heritage Center), and together Yoder and Crissman will be sharing some of the music of The Soil and The Seed Project, including teaching and leading some of the new songs. "The Soil and The Seed Project helps establish new rhythms of faith as together we turn towards Jesus, believing and celebrating the Good News of God's Love for the whole world. The project is a gift to the church, given freely to any individual or community who wants it (not sold), thanks to the partnership of VMMissions and the generosity of individuals and church communities."

Golf cart assistance is available for those who wish it; if handicap parking is needed at the bottom of the amphitheater, please request it when you arrive.
