The ninth annual Pennsylvania German worship service, held in the tradition of the 1871 Wenger Meetinghouse, will take place on Sunday, Sept. 11, at 2:30 p.m. at the restored meetinghouse, 16 Supervisors Drive, Swatara Township, Jonestown.

The service will be conducted in the Pennsylvania German dialect, known as Pennsylvania Dutch, with the message given by the Rev. Richard A. Miller, a Berks County native raised on a farm near Kutztown. He graduated from Muhlenberg College and Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. After residing in Brooklyn, N.Y., for 42 years, he now lives in Topton.

Special music will be provided by Die Schwadore Schalle (Swatara Sounds) under the direction of Alice Spayd.

All are invited to attend. The meetinghouse will be open by 2 p.m., at which time visitors will be invited to view it. At one time the Wenger Meetinghouse was a preaching point of the United Zion Church.

A freewill donation will be accepted in support of the meetinghouse.

The meetinghouse is located at the corner of Mill Street and Supervisors Drive. For more information, readers may call 717-865-6723 or email wmpa.jonestown@gmail.com.
