If South Adams Schools cancels classes because of inclement weather, we will cancel our evening services. If South Adams cancels classes due to fog or other non-weather-related reasons, a decision will be made by 12:00 noon as to whether the fellowship meal and evening classes for all ages will be held that evening. Cancellations will be posted at www.firstmennonite.org, on the church app, the church’s Facebook page, and a church-wide email will be sent out to those who have registered for it. For cancellations we will also inform WZBD radio 92.7 FM, who will read the announcement on the air; and Fort Wayne TV stations WANE15 and 21Alive. 

This July, Kaixo USA is bringing 40 students from Basque Country, Spain, to Indiana to live with host families from July 1-28, 2025. These students will experience English immersion and the joy of an authentic American summer, building meaningful connections along the way. We are looking for host families— any stage of life—to open their hearts and homes. Whether you have young kids, teens, or no kids at all, you can provide a life-changing experience for a student. Most importantly, this is a wonderful opportunity to show the love of Jesus to someone from across the globe…all without leaving Indiana! Interested or have questions? Visit kaixo.com or contact Mya McClure at myamcclure22@gmail.com or (216) 517-3237. Text, call, or email—we’d love to share more.

Children in grades 3-9 are invited to join in for a weekend of singing on Saturday, March 1, and Sunday, March 2, 2025, here at First Mennonite Church! For additional information and/or to register, please visit mennoniteyouthchoir.com.
