Episodes from the life of Henry Muhlenberg
Sunday, June 26 - 3:00 pm

​
​The Rev. Thomas Kochenderfer, a retired Lutheran pastor, re-enacts episodes from the life of Henry Muhlenberg, the Lutheran patriarch for whom Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA is named. The stories of life in the eighteenth century in Europe and crossing the Atlantic, life in the new world, and life during the Revolutionary War, give us a glimpse of what our ancestors had to deal with when they came to this country. It is a story of climbing up from abject poverty into the middle class. Perhaps there are some things from the past which will help us deal with the present.
