1. Read the docket and other important documents before Assembly. Print out a hard copy (if you want one) or bring an electronic device on which you can read it. We will not be supplying hard copies.
2. Ahead of time, review the FAQ document to understand how the voting will work (including red, yellow, and green colors) for delegates regarding the partnership recommendation with MC USA.
3. On Saturday, Nov. 2, enter Souderton Mennonite Church through the main carport entrance. There is a parking lot across the street from the meetinghouse, on Chestnut Street, and parking around the building. Plan that parking and getting through the registration line could take 15 minutes.
4. Doors open for registration at 8:50 am. Arrive early for community time in the Fellowship (Exhibit) Hall where Conference-Related Ministries (CRMs) and other agencies will be available to connect. Worship will begin at 9:30 am.
5. From 12:30-2 pm, both the Exhibit Hall and lunch will be available. Be sure to plan time to visit both!
6. Marta Castillo will be available during lunch in the lunchroom to meet with credentialed leaders who still need to complete items to renew their credentials. Stop by to ask questions or to verify what you still need in order to renew.
7. Please bring a handheld rhythm instrument, such as drumsticks, for the peacemaking and drumming time during our afternoon session. If you don’t bring something, your hands work great too!
8. Our Assembly Support Fund remains open for online giving and also through a collection basket at lunch. Your gifts offset the travel costs for delegates coming from a distance (FL, CA, VT).
9. A prayer room is located next to the delegate session room, off the coffee area, from 9:30 am-4:30 pm. It is available for anyone to pray or receive prayer.
10. In addition to the mid-day luncheon, light snacks (including PA Dutch and Mexican pastries), coffee, and tea are provided throughout the day. Childcare is available. There is no childcare during lunch.
We look forward to seeing everyone on November 2! Need more information? Visit the Assembly Webpage.
