Brethren Heritage Center Open House May 2 & 3
Posted by Terry White on April 28, 2009
The Brethren Heritage Center, located in the Brookside Plaza on Wolf Creek St. in Brookville, Ohio, invites all to attend its Grand Re-Opening on Saturday, May 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday, May 3 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The Center, which has been recently expanded (nearly double) and renovated, will be open for guided tours, live music, a silent quilt auction, new exhibits, historical presentations, and great refreshments.
The Brethren Heritage Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving historical and current information concerning the various Brethren bodies which have a rich heritage dating to 1708 in Schwarzenau, Germany. Southwestern Ohio was chosen for the location of the center due to the large number of Brethren living in the Miami Valley Region.
The Brethren bodies involved with the Brethren Heritage Center are: Church of the Brethren, Conservative Grace Brethren International, Dunkard Brethren, Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches, German Baptist Brethren, Old Brethren, Old Brethren German Baptist, Old German Baptist Brethren, Old Order German Baptist, and The Brethren Church. The Grace Brethren representative on the BHC board is Pastor Elbert Sorrell of the Grace Brethren Community Church in West Alexandria, Ohio.
Further information and driving directions are available at www.brethrenheritagecenter.org. A visit to the BHC will be part of the Brethren Heritage Tour to be conducted Thursday afternoon and evening on July 30, 2009, during the Equip09 Grace Brethren national conference being held in Columbus, Ohio.
