As part of the Revitalizing Testimony in Worship Project, Christine Nafziger, co-pastor of Millersburg Mennonite Church, composed two songs suitable for congregational use. Recordings of both songs are now available on the Music Resources page. The first song, "We Will Stand, We Will Speak" was sung at the 2009 Annual Conference Assembly.
Writing about "We Will Stand, We Will Speak," Nafziger said,"Because testimony is first and foremost about God, I wanted to start the song by naming a few of the countless things God does to/for us. I then wanted to name our response to all God is doing — to open our mouths and testify to God's great deeds!" To read more of her reflections about the two songs, see the Music Resources page.
At Annual Conference Assembly, each congregation received a DVD with two video segments about Ohio Conference. To see these video productions, click the links below:
