History

Karla Fehr is on the organizing committee for the Blumenort Mennonite Church Centennial Celebration and touched on the history of the church: "It was started by Mennonites who came to Manitoba in the 1920s. They had endured terrible persecution in Ukraine/Russia since 1918 and a famine in 1921. The first families came to southern Manitoba in August of 1923, and small groups started meeting for worship that fall. 

It's quickly becoming a community staple, The Community Exchange in Altona is set and ready to host another FREE Community Meal and concert tomorrow evening!

A welcoming, creative event for everyone

Neubergthal has played host to many poetry nights in the past and there's another one coming up this Thursday in the Bergthal Schoolhouse!

Maxine Penner, one of the organizers of the event had this to say on who this event is for: "I would say it's for everyone. Whether you're younger or older, or whether you've been to an event like this before or not, if you're curious, if you want to share, if you just want to come to listen, if you just want to have an evening out at the village. Yeah, I would say everyone is welcome."
