November 2, 2008 Historic Moment
Did you know.... As 1960 closed, our church received a magnificent and bounteous blessing in the form of a $300,000 trust fund established for our church by the will of Miss Mary Bergen. Miss bergen resided in the house that later became known as "Gleneagles" (the property on the east side of Route 376 approximately 2 tenths of a mile north of our present day sanctuary, immediately before Airport Drive). Other notable Bergen family gifts to our church included our Tiffany stained glass windows (which are in our present day sanctuary) and our church bell. The Mary Bergen Trust Fund continues to provide income to our church to this present day with a current value in excess of $1m!!!
