Pastor Corey was at the Minnesota State Fair while on vacation last week but he couldn’t get away from Salem. In case you're interested "Swedish Egg Coffee" is made by putting a raw egg, shell and all into the coffee grounds when you brew the coffee. Not sure we'll be serving it anytime soon at Salem. Pastor Corey is back at Salem South Baltimore to lead service this Sunday at 10:30, all are welcome.

Riverside Third Space was the scene of back to back birthday parties the past two Saturdays, the first for a one year old and the second for a 55 year old. It doesn’t matter how old, or what the reason is for the party, Riverside Third Space can accommodate you and your group. Contact [email protected] for more details.

From the Financial Report of the Ladies Aid society, 1934. It must have been a bit of a tough year. They started the year with $91.52 and closed it with $18.32 but most of it was sent to the church treasury (plus $25 to the Pastor for Christmas.) Join us at Salem this Sunday with Pastor Corey leading service before he leaves for vacation. All are welcome at Salem, at the corner of Battery and Randall, serving the Riverside community since 1885

From the archives, here’s a letter that was sent to new members of Salem back in 1983 by a member of the church council pointing out significant dates in Salem’s past, the 1937 rebuilding of the church from a fire, the building of the Manse which is the Pastor’s residence in 1948 and the construction of the Sunday School space in 1955.
This Sunday Pastor Corey will lead our service at 10:30. The gospel this week is the story of Jesus walking on water and scaring the heck out of the disciples. Nothing scary about Salem, families with children are always welcome. Service starts at 10:30-ish. Salem Church at the corner of Battery and Randall, serving the Riverside community since 1885.
