I rise today to honor the 250th anniversary of the Union United Church of Christ of Neffs. Pennsylvania and to pay tribute to the many contributions its congregation has made to the cultural fabric of the Lehigh Valley. Established in 1755 by immigrant farmers and craftsmen. the first Union United Church of Christ was constructed on a 1 00acre plot of land donated by the Schlosser family of Neffs. As the predominant language in the area. all services at Union Church were conducted in German until 1920 when English began to be incorporated. Shortly after the churchs formation in 1755.
