Notes

2024-10-09 - On Sunday, June 28, 1908 a Dedication Service was held for the church building built with brownstone from the Hummelstown Brownstone Quarry, in which we worship today. The historic Hummelstown Brownstone Quarry which provided much sought after and prized brownstone building materials through-out the east coast in the early 1900s and we are grateful to be a part of that history. The current church building stands as a testament to our forebears’ faithful commitment to their religious foundation, stewardship and love of God. -- church history web page -Paul R. Marchesano
