Redeemer Lutheran Church's Second Annual Civil War Day on Saturday

(Cannonball) Ulysses S. Grant said that "The U.S. Christian Commission alleviated suffering on almost every battlefield during the Civil War."
This amazing story of heroes who went to the battlefields with Bibles, bandages and coffee will be told through living history at Redeemer Lutheran Church's Second Annual Civil War Day. The public is invited to learn about the invention of the dog-tag, letter writing stations, loan libraries and the USCC Coffee Wagon and much more.
Members of Company G of the 16th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry and Company K of the 45th Pennsylvania also will be there to interact with the public and lead activities with the children. There will be first person presentations and performances by several singers who will be singing period songs.
The day will conclude with a reenactment of a camp worship service led by John Wega, the Director of the U.S. Christian Commission in Gettysburg. There will not be any shooting. Continued
