It doesn't have the best acoustics, though, so both ceremonies were hard to hear. Also, there is no air conditioning, which was BRUTAL in the summer. They could cycle the air better. Even with a huge fan it was unbearably hot and only made things harder to hear. It also doesn't seem very handicap accessible. Lots of stairs or hills on both sides. Not sure if there is something I missed, like an elevator at the back. It would be worth checking out.

I gave it a 4 because I think they could use a little commentary or provide more information as to what to expect. What happened in the beginning, what causes the lights and colors, etc. Bring a jacket if you get cold quickly! Eek! I would go again and take earbuds- not just for those who are snoring (I think staff should wake these people up) but to play some classical music or worship music to go with it. I think it would make it so much better!

The parishioners are very participative and generous in a variety of ministries, particularly their ministry to the homeless. We are making a concerted effort to bring in a wide variety of members, representing many different people. Parking is particularly generous, with a spacious and secure lot. Regardless of where you are coming from (whether figuratively or literally), you will find it easy to find a place at St. Paul's Parish.

They serve pierogis, rice stuffed cabbage, borscht, and cottage cheese crepes (blintzes?) every Wednesday and Sunday morning from 9-12 - perfect for takeout or dining in/out on the spot. Honestly some of the most phenomenal, convenient, simply delicious eats. I couldn't pick a favorite of the four and look forward to any opportunity to fit it into my schedule. They've always been inviting and seem grateful for outside investment in their fundraising! Be sure to stop by & enjoy their native, lovingly crafted eats.

The most beautiful historic building in Newtown, Bucks County, PA, is the Old Presbyterian Church…read moreon Sycamore Street. Built in 1769 and remodeled extensively in 1782 in Greek Revivalist style, it was the first Protestant church in town, predating the Quaker Meetinghouse by 81 years. The 2.5 story house of worship was plain in keeping with the modest state of this colonial village, but its rubble fieldstone and Ashlan stonework walls remain noble and solidly spiritual. The current congregation moved to larger quarters in the early 1930s, but the old home for the souls who came before remained, and during summer months services returned here where the thick stone walls and ancient hardwoods overhead still cooled the faithful. Unlike the Quakers who tended to be pacifists and declined to fight in the American Revolution based on their religious principles, the Presbys fought mostly for the cause of Independence. Washington's headquarters was down the street at the intersection of Swamp Road and Sycamore. After the first Battle of Trenton across the Delaware River in Jersey, the church as one of the largest buildings in Newtown, was commandeered for use as a jail, hospital and POW camp. The captured Hessian troops were subsequently marched to Philadelphia for a prisoner exchange. In the rear of the church remains the original cemetery and its protective brick wall. Eight graves are from the French & Indian Wars, and in 28 rest our local brave revolutionists. The roots of this church and the community it serves are so very deep. Amazingly, the old church stands today in all its aging dignity. Walk around looking in the windows, praying in the cemetery, meditating under the broad branches of trees that have witnessed it all. If you're lucky, you can go inside to sit in the ancient pews and contemplate the generations of farmer and small craftsmen families who lived their lives nearby, and helped birth our new nation. Respect this treasure and treat her gently. The Old Presbyterian Church in Newtown was registered as a National Historic Site in 1987, and remains the soul of this community.
