250th Anniversary

The Little Swatara Church of the Brethren is celebrating its 250th anniversary this weekend. Four small congregations in this area joined to form the Little Swatara Church in 1964. We went for part of the celebration this afternoon. They had a German service at 2 p.m. After that we went on a mini-tour of a couple of the old Brethren buildings. The oldest one is Merkeys which was built in 1848. (They met in homes for the first hundred years.)

On the way back we stopped at the Little Swatara Church again to see the old cars and tractors on display. If I ever had a car just for fun I would want one of these little darlings. It's a 1918 Tin Lizzie.
