On December 29, 2020, Buhler area resident Tom Reeves lost his home and many of his possessions to fire.
If this event wasn't tragic enough, he was at the viewing of his son who had passed away on December 21 when he received the news of the fire.
Tom is known as a guy "who would give the shirt off his back" to help others in need ... here is our chance to help him.
A fund to help rebuild his house has been established at BMC. By giving to this fund: 1) your donation will be matched by other non-profit organizations; 2) it will be administrated towards the cause of rebuilding; 3) BMC is 501c3 and so your donations are tax deductible; & 4) and most important, you are helping a guy who would most likely help you in a time of need.
Send your checks to:
Buhler Mennonite Church

We would like to congratulate Leah Bentley on her acceptance into The United State's Military Academy at West Point.
Buhler High School senior Leah Bentley has been accepted into West Point, the prestigious U.S. Military Academy in West Point, NY. West Point was selected by General George Washington as a strategic fortification during the Revolutionary War and established as the U.S. Military Academy by President Thomas Jefferson in 1802. It is well known for its long history of producing many of the nation’s most successful leaders.
To be considered for acceptance, students must interview with and receive at least one nomination from a member of Congress. Leah not only received nominations from Senator Jerry Moran, Senator Pat Roberts, and Congressman Roger Marshall, she also received the Principal Nomination from Sen. Moran. A Principal Nomination to West Point is only offered to one candidate in the state and grants guaranteed acceptance if the candidate meets the minimum requirements for admission.
“Hearing that I was accepted to West Point was by far the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me, it’s hard to even put into words how honored and grateful I am to have such an opportunity,” Bentley explained, “I know it’s going to be challenging, but I thrive on that, and I truly believe it is where I belong”. While at West Point, Leah will be continuing her running career, competing on their Division I Track and Cross Country teams. Leah will be a member of the West Point class of 2025 and will be reporting in June 2021, when she will begin 6 weeks of basic training. Leah plans to major in American Politics and ultimately pursue a career in the Judge Advocates General Corps serving the Army as an attorney.
Congratulations and Good Luck
