Church team

Christ Lutheran Church on Sumneytown Pike in Kulpsville is marking its 175th anniversary this year, and will be sharing some of their memories during the course of the year.

In this photo, we see a church baseball team.

According to information submitted by the 175th Anniversary Committee, this baseball team photo doesn’t go all the way back to 1833, but it does take you back to 1930.

“Harleysville and Towamencin readers may find some familiar faces,” the committee noted.

Here is the team rundown:

Front row: Horace Renninger, Bob Bucher, Henry Sisler, Bob Mellon, Linford Stevens, Frank Sisler, Jake Bergey, Clarence Lewis and Pastor Homer Weaver.

Second row: Lester Becker, Henry Moyer, Emerson Kulp and Kenneth Bean.

Back row: Walton Rittenhouse, Henry Kulp, Russel Detwiler, Carl Dean, Jim Slotter and Lester Hunsicker.

Looks like the team is ready to take the field.
