More than 250 friends gathered July 14 at Shafter Mennonite Brethren Church to honor Chris and Rheba Ummel for decades of service in Shafter and the North Shafter Farm Labor Camp. The couple, active since 1940, slowed by health issues, built Bible classes, Sunday Schools, Head Start and community programs, and distributed commodities to about 1200 residents with help from local groups. A court of former attendees tested their memories, and out-of-town guests joined in the celebration with pies and drinks as the Ummels expressed gratitude to Shafter and relatives.
