Newton wakes up every morning with a spirituality begun with the
pioneers, women and men of faith sufficient to confrontation with the
rigors of a town less and windblown prairie, Kansas' Mennonite settlers
most of all, the hard-working people who came with Turkey Red winter
wheat and the bedrock belief systems of their forebears.
And so to this day any approach to the city of Newton – along the
interstate or from a farm-to-market road east or west – there are always
visible the spires of the community’s oldest churches.
All denominations are represented, of course, as befits a city of
Newton’s age and size and spiritual sophistication. Should you not
already have come to town with a congregation ready to join, your
family’s search for a new church home will be quick and pleasant and,
soon
enough, more than purposeful. A visit following upon a preceding
Sunday’s visit will show the way.
