Wrightsville Presbyterian Church celebrates 185 years

LANCASTERONLINE
To some in the Columbia/Wrightsville area, it's known as the church whose old building got hit by a Confederate cannonball 150 years ago, at the height of the Civil War.
But Pastor Christine Blackford wants Wrightsville Presbyterian Church to be known better as "a congregation that wants to respond to people who are in need."
And the many who have been and continue to be blessed by the church's outreach on both sides of the Susquehanna River surely agree.
The Wrightsville church, which draws a third or so of its congregants from the Lancaster County side of the river, celebrates its 185th anniversary this weekend.
