  abstract = {<p>On Sept. 30, Canada's National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, 120 people met at Steinmann Mennonite Church in Baden to hear David G. Neufeld speak on "What stories have we not been telling," and Rebecca Seiling, Indigenous Neighbours engagement associate for Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) Ontario, speak on "The Landed Buggy," a buggy decorated to reflect the web of connections between the land, Indigenous people and settlers. Focusing on gratitude, the service involved people across a spectrum of Mennonite and Amish congregations. Because of generous sponsorship from local businesses and from the Mennonite Historical Society of Ontario, expenses for the events were covered so that offerings taken at the hymn sings and the Thanksgiving service raised more than $6,000 for MCC to use in refugee and Indigenous Neighbours programs. [...]there were more than 200 items originating from families in the Ontario Amish tradition.</p>
