Home. Is there a more beloved word in the English language? It brings thoughts of familiar people and places which have helped to shape and develop who and where we are today. From October 17-19, we invite you to come home to Belleville Mennonite School and join us for the 7th Annual Fall Foliage Homecoming Weekend.

This year, we recognize and celebrate 63 years of God’s faithfulness at Belleville Mennonite School. The BMS Class of 1958 chose the phrase, “Not For Ourselves, But For Christ” as their class motto 50 years ago, and we’ll adopt this prayer as our theme for the weekend. The Annual Faith Promise Dinner starts the weekend’s events on Friday evening, October 17 at 6:30 p.m. The evening will include a delicious home cooked dinner, speaker Dr. Lee M Yoder (’58), sharing from former and current BMS students, special music from the BMS Senior Choir, and an impromptu Alumni Choir.

We welcome all members of the BMS Alumni Association, which includes all BMS graduates and is open to anyone who has attended BMS, to come home to the Big Valley for this year’s homecoming events. Remember the beautiful Autumn displays of “God’s splendor” in the Big Valley? Come enjoy the scenery and join us for a weekend at Belleville Mennonite School.

Ready to come home to the Big Valley? Register for the 2008 Fall Foliage Homecoming Weekend at BMS by completing and sending the included registration form to Belleville Mennonite School, 4105 Front Mt. Rd, Belleville, PA 17004, before September 24, 2008. We look forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,
Belleville Mennonite School Alumni Association Committee
