PLEASANTVILLE CHURCH TO BREAK GROUND FOR ADDITION INCLUDING NEW SANCTUARY
Chalfont, PA, September 25, 2009. Pleasantville United Church of Christ (UCC) today announced that it will break ground for a new addition including a 450 seat sanctuary on Sunday, October 4 at 3 PM at 3424 Limekiln Pike in Chalfont. The new $3.5 million project will be built on the present church site but adjacent to the current sanctuary that was dedicated in 1899. The church’s mailing address is Chalfont but the church property is located in Warrington Township.
The ground breaking will be a festive program featuring inspiring speakers, a combined church choir and a gala reception following the ceremony. The Rev. Dr Hilary Barrett, the church’s senior pastor, will be officiating. The new 12,000 square foot expansion is needed to accommodate the church’s growing congregation. Donna Wright, president of the Pleasantville UCC Church Council, will welcome members and visitors and talk about how the church was able to accomplish its long term vision despite the difficult economic times our country is experiencing.
Pleasantville UCC was founded in 1840 and will be celebrating its 170th anniversary as a religious community in 2010. The 680+ member church holds two Sunday worship services at 8:30 am and 10:15 am. At each service, children attend part of the worship service and then move to their Christian Education classes. The church is known for its friendly congregation and inspiring music program.
