Mennonite Church Celebrates 25th Anniversary

Nueva Vida Norristown New Life Mennonite Church, 3 East Marshall Street, is celebrating 25 years of unity in Christ! The congregation came together on July 1, 1990—a most unusual integration of three Mennonite churches of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds in Norristown.

Everyone is welcome to attend the Homecoming Fiesta and Gospel Concert on Saturday, July 11. The celebration includes a pig roast at 5:30 p.m. and a benefit concert with James Crumbly and Friends at 7 p.m. at the church.

James Crumbly of Tampa, Florida, is an accomplished pianist, composer, and recording artist. He taught Jazz Ensemble, Adult Voice Ensemble, and Songwriting at the Patel Conservatory of The Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. He previously served as director of music at New Covenant Church of Philadelphia. His strong background in classical, gospel, and jazz gives him a uniquely eclectic sound. Enjoy a sample of James’s piano artistry.

The worship celebration, Living God’s Promises Together, will be held Sunday, July 12, 10:30 a.m. James Crumbly will lead worship with the congregation’s bilingual worship team and pastors Ángel Tamayo, Marta Castillo, and Ertell Whigham.
