Its Bucks County fieldstone facade is ageless, and for all the world to imagine that it sprung wholely formed directly from this good earth. Sadly, I was there for the first time attending to a funeral for a friend's mother-in-law, who was taken too soon after a battle with cancer. Yet, if there was ever a House of God able to hold and comfort the pain and grief of a large family, this ancient chapel was it. Although not Christian, I felt the holiness of the stones, stained glass and old wooden benches sitting beneath its high vaulted ceiling. Every word spoken in memoriam of her passing by her children and husband rang clearly off the well plastered walls. The pastor's homily of Proverbs:31 was true and to the point. As I sat concentrating on the message, I saw a bright white light glowing behind each of them, attesting to their complete sincerity, sense of loss and the devine presence. It was a Light comfortably embraced by the strong stone arms of this amazing soulful edifice.

I found Crossing to be the least welcoming of all of the churches in Newtown.

I should have considered that as a sign not to visit), I became a regular attender, despite much of church staff being hesitant to even shake my hand throughout my time there. What I learned is that, if you did not grow up in this church or do not already have a friend group in it before you began to attend, you are viewed as an outsider and that is the way it is going to remain. I received an abundance of curious e-mails from Crossing that were clearly data harvesting attempts (even without/before being a full member of the church), and repeated, aggressive e-mails for me to come out to the church and perform manual labor on the church house early in the morning, even though I had been sick with COVID symptoms. I also balked when I saw how invasive the church membership contract/covenant is. When a church requires you to forfeit your right to legal counsel as a condition for joining them, that's more than enough of a sign not to come any bit closer. Finally: the lead pastor stopped communicating with me because I visited another church. If that is not evidence of clique behavior, what is? That's contrary to the message of the gospel.

Horrible! If you like cliques you will love this church. One of the most unloving churches I have…read moreever been to. Although our family was heavily involved in ministry and volunteering for this church, we were never treated like part of the in crowd. In fact when our family experienced something devastating they were nowhere to be found. When my father died, they were nowhere to be found. I would say this was one of the worst churches I've ever been to, but unfortunately most every church we spent several years in in the Northeast is like this. Cold hearted, arrogant, superficial and rarely faithful in teaching God's word accurately.

After falling away from the church for many years - except for the major holidays - a series of life events had me questioning my faith. I explored several area churches from mega to small, in a variety of Christian traditions, and having sporadically attended Princeton Community Church when it was startup in the mid 1990s, I thought I'd give it a fresh look. Senior Pastor Craig Casey leads the way by encouraging you to dig deeper into your faith, challenges you to reach your goals and aim even higher, and to discover your purpose. The Youth Ministry isn't afraid to address the tough issues faced by kids today, and gears the message to the teen audience. The payoff is seeing my children growing into really great people through this additional layer of positive reinforcement. I think this is a great church that seems clear in its purpose and is helping me discover mine. I would recommend it to anyone, no matter what your beliefs.

It is part of the Philadelphia Diocese, and operates an school by the same name on Wrights Road. The old brownstone single tower neo-Gothic structure, completed in 1880, has a wonderful ambiance, but it held only 200 people and became too small for the growing population of central Bucks County. A new modern open church was completed in the 1990's, just up Swamp Road. Its airiness and vaulted ceilings contributes to a sense that prayers fly upward and are amplified by the multitude of sincere entreaties below. It is a very warm church. Sadly, it seems that the main reason for visits over the years has been to attend funerals and the Blue Mass for our police officers and first responders. Father (Monsignor) Picard is a strong and compassionate leader of this faith community. He connects well with all, and offers a sincere ear and deep reflective response to all who seek his advise and aid. I found myself there yesterday after a neighbor I have known for many years passed away suddenly. The pews were full with his mourning family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Psalms were read. Songs were song, and eucharist was offered. Tears flowed. Embraces were extended and heart felt. The service ended and solemnly as it had begun, with Father Picard standing at the door offering one last, "Peace Be With You," to all who had come to celebrate and commiserate the life and death of a wonderful man too soon taken.

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.
