About Us
The Weidenfeld CMC Church is located southeast of Grunthal along Provincial Road 403. The church is a member of the Chortitzer Mennonite Conference.
History
The Weidenfeld area (orginally known as Sommerfeld) was settled in the 1870's by Mennonites from the Bergthal Colony in Russia. For a number of years, people had to travel great distances to attend church services. As more families settled in the area south of Grunthal, they began to hold services at a local private school.
In 1938, a new church building was constructed and dedicated at Weidenfeld. A Sunday School program was started in the years following A basement and a new foyer were added to the building in 1978, providing adequate space for the the Sunday School and midweek children's clubs. Club DJ is a weekly program hosted at the church that encourages children to have "Hearts that desire to please God".
Worship services are held each Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. Sunday School runs during the service. Everyone is welcome to come and worship at Weidenfeld.
