I don’t know how many Mennonite-run businesses have “set up shop” in Madras, Oregon. At least five, I suspect. Be that as it may, this post is about two owned by preachers.<\/p>\n
First, because it’s older, is Eagle Bakery<\/a>. I’ve been to their store in town…and enjoyed the mighty fine eating and atmosphere. Rob may be a conservative Mennonite but I notice in the archives of the local paper that he and his wife Faye have helped an Adventist school<\/a>. And despite being non-resistant, they’ve also helped in a nice project for some war veterans<\/a>. I heartily commend them for their generous spirit.<\/p>\n Then there’s the more-recently launched<\/a> bent-and-dent store, Miller’s Discount Groceries<\/a>. I’ve never been in their store but I’m looking forward to doing so the next time I’m in town. (I like that kind of store.)<\/p>\n Next time you’re in Madras, how about you do me a favor and stop by both places? You could even tell them, “Mark Roth said to give you his greetings.” I would like that very much. And they might as well. In fact, you might, too. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n If you go to the grocery store (map<\/a>) first, you’ll be within four blocks from the bakery. (I suspect it works out to the same distance the other way around also.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don’t know how many Mennonite-run businesses have “set up shop” in Madras, Oregon.
