“Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a faith community in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, that recently celebrated a very special milestone. St. Michael's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Sellersville commemorates its 150th anniversary this year. First commissioned in 1869, St. Michael's was to be a union church between Reformed and Lutheran Christians. Nearly 2,000 people attended one of St. Michael's consecration ceremonies. The church is rich with tradition and history. Early sermons were spoken in German, and in 1904, the church became the first building in Sellersville to have electricity. Today, the St. Michael's community is as active as ever, participating in community meals, working on community gardens, and providing food for Pennridge FISH and Keystone Opportunity Center, and offering numerous educational programs. Madam Speaker, we congratulate the St. Michael's faith community on their 150th anniversary of such an amazing and special place. I would also like to thank Pastor Julie Bergdahl for her pastoral care and leadership. ____________________”
