Pennington Church Tours as Part of Anniversary Celebration

by Mary Galioto

To celebrate the 125th anniversary of its incorporation as a borough, Pennington has organized an open house of its six churches to be held from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, April 26 to be followed by an ecumenical service at 6 p.m. at the Pennington Presbyterian Church. The event is free and open to the public.

Participating churches include St. James Roman Catholic Church, 115 East Delaware Ave., Pennington Presbyterian Church, 13 South Main St., Pennington United Methodist Church, 80 South Main St., First Baptist Church of Pennington, Academy Ave., Bethel AME Church, 245 South Main St., and St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, 300 South Main St.

The churches will offer a tour and history of their houses of worship. Maps and tour booklets are available on line at www.Pennington125.org or at the churches on the day of the event. Pennington’s churches have played an important role in the history and quality of life of the community. The church tour and ecumenical service are part of several events for the yearlong anniversary celebration. For more details visit www.pennington125.org and Pennington 125 on Face Book.

The Rev. Gregory Smith and Beverly Mills are co-chairs of the Ecumenical Sunday events and Council member Catherine “Kit” Chandler and former mayor and Councilman Edwin Weed Tucker are co-chairs of the Pennington 125th Anniversary Celebration Committee.
