<p><b>New page</b></p><div><div align="left"> [[File:SchefflerHugo-Susan.jpg|300px|thumb|right|'''']] </div> Hugo Cornelius Scheffler, Mennonite pastor and <em>Aeltester</em>, was born 18 February 1901 in Kronsnest, [[West Prussia|West Prussia]], the fourth of eight children born to Cornelius and Marie Scheffler (nee Goerzen). He was baptized 24 May 1915 in the Mennonitengemeinde [[Thiensdorf and Preußisch Rosengart Mennonite Church (Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland)|Thiensdorf]], West Prussia where he was active in Sunday school and youth work. He attended the Missions Schule (Bible seminary) in Wernigerode (Harz) [[Germany|Germany]], from 1924-26. Here he received a good foundation in [[Bible |Bible]] knowledge and exegesis and was also influenced by his teacher and mentor, [[Kroeker, Jakob (1872-1948)|Jakob Kroeker]], with a love for the universal body of Christ and his word. In Wernigerode he met Susanna Janzen (b. 6 April 1906 in Nikolajewsk (Ebenthal) [[Russia|Russia]]).<br />
<br />
Hugo and Susanna were married 27 March 1928 in Thiensdorf, West Prussia and had four daughters and one son, who died at age six. Both of them worked on his dad's second farm for a year. In 1929 he applied for a pastoral position in [[Sembach (Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany)|Sembach]], Germany and served that Mennonite congregation from 1929 to 1935. In 1935 the Mennonite Congregation in [[Kaiserslautern (Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany)|Kaiserslautern]] called him and he was their pastor from 1935-1951.<br />
<br />
During World War II Hugo was exempted from military service to care for four additional Mennonite congregations whose pastors had been drafted into military service. With devotion he visited his flock in the different mountainous villages and towns on foot or with his bicycle or small motorcycle. He also served as a medic in bomb-stricken towns and villages.<br />
<br />
In 1951 they immigrated to the [[United States of America|United States]]. Hugo attended Bethel college in 1954 for two semesters on a scholarship to improve his language skills and become acquainted with American academic life. He preached occasionally in his home congregation, Ritzville, Washington. In 1954 he received a call from a German-speaking Mennonite parish in Black Creek, BC, [[Canada|Canada]] and a year later from Clearbrook, BC, where he ministered until 1963. With humility and open-mindedness that had characterized him all his life, he accepted a challenge to teach at the Bienenberg Bible School in Switzerland from 1963 until 1966. During summers he worked as itinerant pastor in several German congregations and as a visiting shepherd and teacher to [[Mennonite Central Committee (International)|Mennonite Central Committee]] volunteers in Europe and [[Africa|Africa]].<br />
<br />
After his return to USA Hugo was called back to serve as a conciliator and interim pastor in [[Berlin (Germany)|Berlin]] and later in the Mennonite refugee congregation in Enkenbach, Germany. He was liked by his parishioners, especially by young people, for his openness, honesty and sense of humor. He returned in 1968 to retire officially in Bellingham, WA but he was still active in conducting deeper life services in several congregations across Canada and speaking at numerous ministerial conferences, sharing from the wealth of experience during a rich life in God's service. There was always renewed vigor and spirit in his writing, teaching and his relationships.<br />
<br />
For 22 years Hugo participated in writing the <em>Bibel Studien Fuer Erwachsene</em> (German Sunday School Lessons for North and [[South America|South America]]). From 1971-1977 he was the sole author. He died in January 1977 of cancer.<br />
