At the Mennonite Heritage Center, we want to collect and preserve stories from this time of health crisis in which we find ourselves.
We’re inviting persons from our Mennonite communities to help with this by responding to our Coronavirus Crisis Survey at mhep.org/coronavirus-crisis-survey. No need to answer all questions. Just type your responses and click “submit” at the end. From the responses received, we will create a digital archival collection at the Mennonite Heritage Center, which will be available to future researchers.
We also invite congregations and ministries to share a few good photos (no more than five) that document life during COVID-19 – showing congregational and community life, in all its new, creative, and restricted forms! If you submit photos, please briefly describe them, and email (preferably as jpgs) to: alderferjoel@mhep.org.
Thank you for considering this invitation! We encourage you to include the following brief paragraph about this survey to include in your church’s newsletter or online bulletin:
