New Lutheran congregation organized

Formal organization of the St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, which has been operating for the past six months as a mission, took place at the morning service last Sunday in the Masonic Hall, Hatboro, before a congregation of about 150 worshippers.

Rev. Orval Hartman of Crescent road, Hatboro, who will be the first pastor of the new church, opened the service. Greetings were brought by Rev. Dr. Emil E. Fischer, President of the Ministerium of Pennsylvania.

A goal of fifty members and $500 in contributions for the building fund had been set for the organization drive. These figures were far surpassed, 68 charter members being received and a collection of $900 reported. There are 45 children of charter members in the church family, and the Sunday school has an enrollment of eighty.

A property on the Old York road between Crescent and James roads has already been acquired. It is hoped the church edifice may be started in about two years. In the meantime, the congregation will continue to gather in the Masonic Hall with a service and Sunday school session each Sunday morning.
