This from Saturday's Daily Local News:
This weekend, the Parkesburg Baptist Church will mark a significant milestone in its history. On May 2, 1846, the church began as a mission of the Glen Run Baptist Church of Penningtonville and on May 1, 1886 gained its independence as a member of the North Philadelphia Baptist Association.
On Saturday, the celebration will begin with a 125th anniversary dinner at the church's Crane Fellowship Hall, which 220 will be attending. The hall was named for the Rev. Foster G. Crane, pastor of the church from 1949 to 1984. A service on Sunday will honor the church's 50-year members.
