    Jan 12 2026
    As the Full of Joy podcast kicks off a new year, you are in for a special treat! If longevity equals wisdom, then today we welcome Spirit of Joy’s wisest partner…Adeline Schempp. Adeline sits down with Marnie and shares about her life growing up on a farm outside of Menno during the “Dark ‘30s,” a time that included grasshoppers, cow pies for heat, snakes in the cellar, and lots and lots of dirt. She includes stories about attending & teaching in a one-room country schoolhouse, meeting her husband, raising four children, and working on their farm outside of Hurley. She also talks about the importance God’s presence during the death of her brother and how she was raised with the belief “If you can stay out the night before, you have to get up and go to church the next day.”

    Christmas in January? Of course! The Christmas season lasts from Christmas Eve until the arrival of “we three kings” on January 6th (for those doing the math, that would be twelve days of Christmas). Pastor Eric sits down with Marnie to wrap up our season of Christmas podcasts by talking about the differences between Matthew and Luke’s Christmas stories.

  • Full of Joy Podcast - Michele's Favorite Christmas Story
    Dec 28 2025
    Michele Vogel, Director of Children’s Faith Formation, is back for one more story this Christmas season. This one is a little different than the traditional church Christmas tale, but one that will probably be familiar to most: Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Don’t worry, Michele will explain how it fits into the reason for the season. So, grab the whole family, pour some hot cocoa and, if you have a copy, follow along in the book and look at the pictures!
