Amanda Bartel, a history major at Bluffton College, is spending a month as an intern with the Mennonite Brethren Historical Commission, including a week at Tabor College’s Center for Mennonite Brethren Studies.

Bartel is working with CMBS director Peggy Goertzen this week.

“This is a great opportunity, enabling us to continue to share and preserve the stories and culture of our heritage and the history of the MB Church,” Goertzen said.

While in Hillsboro, Bartel is staying with her uncle Daryl and aunt Darlene Bartel.
