Page 2 - SUSQUEHANNA TIMES Michael Sweeney active in church Michael Sweeney Michael Sweeney, grand- son of Mrs. Georgia Sweeney, 267 West Walnut Street, Marietta, has been actively involved for four months with preparations for Deliverance Temple's summer conference held in Shippensburg from June 20 to 23rd. The preparations included painting, cooking, art work, sewing, etc., to make other missionaries attending the annual event comfortable during their stay. Persons attending came from Africa, Canada, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Haiti, and various areas of the United States. The theme of the conference was ‘Building Bridges.’ Michael is a Shippens- burg State College sopho- more majoring in element- ary education with an en- vironmental sequence. He is staying in Shippensburg for his summer vacation to assist with work projects at the church and for in- tensive Bible training. The Deliverance Temple is more than just a church according to Rev. Elvina Miller, its pastor. ““The church is a type of rehabilitation center for the college-age young people’ remarked Rev. Miller. ‘*Some come into the church right off the streets from a life of drugs and turmoil and find them- selves converted to Christ- ian living.”” Both spiritual and practical training are received at the Temple. Mike -was confirmed on June 22, after a course of 32 weeks on ‘‘Understand- ing God.’ He also assisted as pianist for the confer- ence. He is a member of the Five Smooth Stones International Bews Gather- ing Network, which combs newspapers, magazines, radio, and other news medias seeking information for the church-sponsored ‘“Five Smooth Stones’’, broadcast aired over WSHP in Shippensburg and WVEFC in McConnellsburg.

The new shelter is on the lawn of the current house of wor- ship on Route 441 and Colebrook Road. The structure is a memorial to the late John R. Shireman. The mason- ary house is reinforced with a steel frame which sup- ports the bell. The roof has not yet been erected. The bell was officially rung for the first time on Sunday, July 4th. An excerpt from church re- cords gives this account of the bell: ‘“January 1883 a committee was appointed to obtain extimates on the cost of building a tower on the church. Two plans were submitted; One for a tower to be built on the corner and the other for the tower to be constructed on the top of the church. The latter was selected. It was decided that if every mem- ber contributed one dollar per month the church would have no financial difficulties. On July 23, the congregation voted thanks to Pastor Mueller, who donated the lumber for the belfry; to John Eppel, Peter Olphen, Jack Menge for hauling same and to John Prosher for painting. A schedule for bell ringing was then set-up by the pastor.”’ The bell was used every Sunday and many week days until 1970 when the new Zion Lutheran Church was completed. Inscriptions on the bell state: Bell presented by Wo- men’s Society, Mountings by Young Folks Society to esses for the coming year. The September meeting will be held at Lacy’s Lounge on the 13th to celebrate the 75th birthday celebration of the Auxil- iary. Plans were also formu- lated to sponsor the annual Christmas Tea at the home of the secretary, Mrs. Ralph Miller. The chaplain, Mrs. Wil- liam Heisey, read ‘‘Hello, Restrain Thy Tongue.”’ church bell German-English Evangel- ical Lutheran Church Con- gregation, Rev.
