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.
