Rottevalle, a village in the Dutch province of [[Friesland (Netherlands)|Friesland]] (coordinates: <span title="Latitude">53° 8′ 43″ N</span>, <span title="Longitude">6° 6′ 13″ E)</span>, the seat of a Mennonite congregation, which was originally centered in the neighboring hamlet of [[Witveen (Friesland, Netherlands)|Witveen]]. Here Mennonites settled about 1620-1640 to cultivate the moors and to dig peat. In the second half of the 18th century the congregation, known at that time as Witveen-Rottevalle, had a meetinghouse in each of the two villages. Gradually the congregation center shifted to Rottevalle. Soon after 1830 the Witveen meetinghouse was dismantled because it was dilapidated and also because very few members were living there; the church in Rottevalle was remodeled and enlarged in 1838. An organ was installed in 1931. The membership was 108 in 1751, 72 in 1847, 101 in 1900, and 142 in 1958. In 1734 Witveen joined the Conference ([[Sociëteit|Sociëteit]]) of Friesland, followed in 1778 by Rottevalle. The last lay preacher in this congregation was Volkert Klazes Klosma ("Volkert Oom"), who served from 1799 to 1830. After his retirement the pulpit was vacant for nearly ten years. Since 1839 the ministers of the Rottevalle congregation have all been educated at the [[Amsterdam Mennonite Theological Seminary (Kweekschool)|Amsterdam Mennonite Seminary]]. Church activities include Sunday school for children, [[Menniste-Bouwers-Federatie|Menniste Bouwers]] (ages 12-15), youth group, and ladies' circle.

Rottevalle, a village in the Dutch province of Friesland (coordinates: 53° 8′ 43″ N, 6° 6′ 13″ E), the seat of a Mennonite congregation, which was originally centered in the neighboring hamlet of Witveen. Here Mennonites settled about 1620-1640 to cultivate the moors and to dig peat. In the second half of the 18th century the congregation, known at that time as Witveen-Rottevalle, had a meetinghouse in each of the two villages. Gradually the congregation center shifted to Rottevalle. Soon after 1830 the Witveen meetinghouse was dismantled because it was dilapidated and also because very few members were living there; the church in Rottevalle was remodeled and enlarged in 1838. An organ was installed in 1931. The membership was 108 in 1751, 72 in 1847, 101 in 1900, and 142 in 1958. In 1734 Witveen joined the Conference (Sociëteit) of Friesland, followed in 1778 by Rottevalle. The last lay preacher in this congregation was Volkert Klazes Klosma ("Volkert Oom"), who served from 1799 to 1830. After his retirement the pulpit was vacant for nearly ten years. Since 1839 the ministers of the Rottevalle congregation have all been educated at the Amsterdam Mennonite Seminary. Church activities include Sunday school for children, Menniste Bouwers (ages 12-15), youth group, and ladies' circle.
