The Revolutionary War service is an effort to re-enact a worship service on the Western Pennsylvania frontier that was led by Presbyterian missionaries to the frontier during the Revolutionary War. Themes that were addressed during the American Revolution regarding natural rights to liberty, the tyranny of government coercion upon its people, and the appropriate role of Christians in such social conflicts are addressed using Biblical passages that were used during that era to address the issues of the day. The service is held outdoors on the Hillcrest United Presbyterian Church’s property, with the order for worship, music, and communion service replicating the kind of service held by Presbyterian missionaries on the Pennsylvania frontier. Dr. Lolla will be preaching on the topic “Roots of Independence” from Psalm 7:12. The public is invited to bring a sack lunch for a time of fellowship following the service. The service begins at 10 a.m and will now be indoors due to expected rain.
