Proclamation by Mayor and Council of Glenolden Borough Celebrating the 115th Anniversary of The Glenolden Congregational Church Whereas, The Glenolden Congregational Church was founded June 22, 1903, built in 1907. The Glenolden Congregational Church was formed with a membership of 60 and was recognized by a regular Ecclesiastical Council on June 30, 1903. Reverend George R. Lockwood was called as the first pastor on December 2, 1903 and served as the spiritual leader for eight years. Whereas In 1907, the corner lot at Scott and Gardner Avenues was secured, where an artistic chapel was built. In April of 1912 Reverend Arthur M. Wood served a brief period, but due to illness was replaced in May of 1913 by Reverend William H. Medlar. With the boys of a Lenten Class, Rev. Medlar organized the first Boy Scout Troop in Glenolden in May 1914 and served as first Scoutmaster. An Intermediate Christian Endeavor Society was organized in 1915 with Miss Flora Jenkins as Superintendent. Whereas, On April 27 of 1949, at a Congregational Meeting, plans were presented for a new church sanctuary and a remodeling of the present building for educational purposes. Plans were approved, and the ground breaking was held on July 2, 1950. A document of this historical event was placed in the cornerstone at the ceremony held on Sunday, September 24, 1950. The larger part of the Service was held in the Church Chapel and Rev. Lockwood the first Pastor, Rev Harry Myers Jr., who helped organize the congregation, Mr. Charles Holmes, our Summer Supply and Mrs. W. Gilbert Condit, wife of the late Rev. W. Gilbert Condit, a former pastor of the church all participated in the service. Whereas, Over the years nearly 19 pastors have served while contributing to the spiritual, social, and economic development of Glenolden and surrounding communities. Whereas, Reverend Philip Brookes 2001-2014 (wife Lynne) retired. He worked in close contact with the boards, and together with the Director of Music, Don Hughes. The church was their home, which you could see with the many seasonal decorations. Pastor Brookes took over the duties in the main office and organized the church each week for the Sunday services. Whereas, Reverend William E. Bounds was elected as Pastor at the 2016 Annual meeting. Pastor Bounds and his wife Debbie bring an atmosphere of hope and encouragement to the Church. His desire is to serve in the capacity of under-shepherd to God s call. Now, Therefore, Be It Proclaimed that the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Glenolden officially recognize and honor the accomplishments and connection of The Glenolden Congregational Church and of its congregation on the occasion of this 115th Year Anniversary Celebration. By Order of the The Mayor 6
