Oksana will play the keyboard and sing. Tammy is a violinist. The choir of First United Methodist Church of Lancaster will perform the anthem,

Following the worship service, Jeff and Sue Frey who own the nearby Boehm family homestead, will offer a hayride to the farm. Don’t miss this special opportunity to see the Chapel from a new perspective!

Dale Mylin, a Society board member and member of Byerland Mennonite Church, will be the featured speaker. Martin Boehm and his family attended Byerland and here is where he became a pastor and later, bishop of three area churches before his excommunication in 1777. Martin was posthumously reinstated as "bishop emeritus" in 2016 by Mennonite bishops.

The event opens with a business meeting at 3 p.m. followed by a worship service and the recognition of Boehm descendants at 4 p.m. After the business meeting a hayride will take people to the nearby Boehm homestead for a different view of the chapel.
