This commemorative event, open to the public, will take place on January 21, 2025, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at College Mennonite Church.

The evening will feature worship, singing, and reflections on the centrality of Scripture in the Anabaptist tradition and in the life of the church today.

In addition to celebrating the official release of the Anabaptist Community Bible, the service will also mark the culmination of the Global Anabaptist Bible read-a-thon, in which 500 voices from around the world have joined together to read through the entire Bible in multiple languages. A reception will follow with food, music and conversation.

“We hope you will join us for this memorable event,” said John D. Roth, project director for Anabaptism at 500. “We look forward to celebrating the legacy of the Anabaptist tradition and renewing our commitment to living out our faith today and in the future.”
