It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our beloved church.

After 161 years we had to close our beloved church. It was deeply rooted in the coal region of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Thank you to all who participated...

Revelation 21
New International Version
A New Heaven and a New Earth

21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.

Dear Members,

A Congregational meeting has been called for Sunday February 26, 2023, at 10:00am for the purpose of proceeding with the closure of the church. At the February 5, 2023, meeting of the session the board voted to begin the process, but a congregational vote MUST be taken. We are asking that you please make every effort possible to attend this meeting. Once the vote takes place an Administrative Commission will be appointed by the Lehigh Presbytery to oversee the closure of the building and disbanding of the congregation.

If you have any questions please reach out to the Clerk of Session as soon as possible.

The Session has also voted to hold a special closing service on March 12, 2023, for all members to come and worship one last time in the building. The service will be held at 3:00pm.

Thank you,
Gary J. Perna, Jr.
Clerk of Session
