Committee develops commemorative calendar for 300th anniversary.

A commemorative calendar featuring 17 contemporary photos of historical Brethren sites is being developed by the 300th Anniversary Committee of Annual Conference, in partnership with the Brethren Church Tercentennial Committee. The calendar will be a part of the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the beginning of the Brethren movement in 1708.

The calendar will be dated Sept. 2007 through Dec. 2008 and will include more than 20 inset photos, sidebars listing significant historical dates for the Brethren, and dates of 300th anniversary celebration events. Six pages of information will include the history of other Brethren bodies, Brethren ordinances, interesting Annual Meeting decisions prior to 1884, and Brethren contributions to education and printing.

The calendar will be ready for delivery early in 2007. Order forms will be available at Annual Conference this summer in Des Moines. More information about how to order for those unable to attend Annual Conference will be available after the conference. Order forms also will be available at National Older Adult Conference this fall. The “early bird special” price is $4 pre-paid plus shipping; early bird bulk rate including shipping is $150 for 50 calendars.
