Close to 200 people gathered in Busby, MT May 28-30 to celebrate "100 Years of God's Faithfulness" with the White River Cheyenne Mennonite Church.  Begun by the Foreign Mission Board of the General Conference Mennonite Church in 1904, the congregation now includes 3rd and 4th generation Mennonites. 

The group gathered included families of past and present pastors, former members and workers, and other friends of the congregation.  Each day was structured with worship times morning and evening, and free time for tours, visiting, or other activities in the afternoon.  Meals were provided for all present, including a traditional Cheyenne meal on Saturday evening.
