Mennonite Church Hosts Luncheon

The Martinsburg Mennonite Church celebrated God's Love with a carry-in lunch on Sunday, Feb. 16. More than 50 people were in attendance.

Entertainment was appreciated by all and some folks joined in singing to the songs.

Daniel Weber played the accordion and Betty Jane Neely played the flute. They played a variety of songs. "God Bless America," "Spanish Eyes," "Somewhere My Love" and "Fiddler on the Roof" were just a few. They end every session with "Jesus Loves Me."

Weber is an engineer at Blair Sign Co. In his spare time he enjoys playing his accordion in his church, nursing homes, rehab centers and other venues. He plays to help with relaxation and to help with depression. His native country is France and he grew up in Alsace-Lorraine. He resides in Altoona.

"I will continue playing until there is no breath in me," Weber said.

Neeley enjoys playing many instruments such as the flute and piano and a variety of others. Formerly she worked as a nurse at Altoona Hospital before it became UPMC Altoona.
