SUMMER WAS A TIME TO SING IN MAPLE GROVE MENNONITE HISTORY
Our church held a singing in the woods one day every summer from 1933 to 1964. The first year, about 150 gathered to sing hymns and share testimonies under the trees in Kennel’s woods. The next year there were more than 500 in attendance; and the numbers grew until an estimated 7500 people gathered during the summer of 1950. Attendance started to decline and the last singing was held in 1964 with only 1800 in attendance.

AUGUST IN MAPLE GROVE MENNONITE HISTORY
98 years ago, on Saturday, August 7, 1909, dedication services were held in German for the new church meeting house of the Maple Grove Mennonite Church. The total cost of the meeting house, including land, was $2,444.36; there were 208 members (both Maple Grove and Millwood) at the time. The first regular service was held on Sunday, August 8. At that time, worship services were conducted in German, but Sunday School was in English. Weekly services alternated between Millwood and Maple Grove from 1909 until July 1943 when each church began holding weekly services.
In August 1931 Maple Grove held the first tent meetings in Coatesville and a year later, construction began on the Coatesville Mennonite Church building.
In August 1938 Maple Grove led the first Sunday School meetings in Parkesburg; these led to the founding of the Parkesburg Mennonite Church.
On Sunday, August 25, 1940 arsonists set the Maple Grove church building on fire. Three fire companies responded (Atglen, Christiana & Parkesburg); part of the sanctuary floor and benches burned, windows were broken from the heat, and the entire building was smoke damaged. It took church members 6 weeks to repair the damage.

PLEASE BE PATIENT as we continue the final details of our building program. The elevator is finished and passed inspection. The new addition did not receive the occupancy permit because the entrance paving has not been completed. All of the patch paving will be completed this week; the final paving is planned for next spring. The sewer system should be completed this week. The playground will be re-installed soon. Work on the new heat/air system for the NW end (basement, offices, classrooms) will begin the week of August 13.
PRE-SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE NEEDED: The Maple Grove Preschool needs teacher aides for the fall. Contact Judi Woods, Director at 610-593-1159 for details

Bring your excess garden produce to share with those in the congregation who do not have gardens. There is a table in the foyer to place the excess blessings from your gardens. Everyone is invited to take what they can use. Share the harvest!
A NEW SCHOOL OF FISH
Check out the “A New School of Fish” display in the foyer. There is a fishbowl with fish that have the names of all our students who are about to go back to school. We are looking for prayer partners for them. So, go fishing and print your name next to the student you pick. You will find the child’s name, address and birthday on the fish. Contact Denyce Copeland if you have any questions.
