The First Presbyterian Church of Port Kennedy was founded on October 31st, 1844. The Second Presbytery of Philadelphia approved the addition of the church to serve approximately 50 families, primarily by immigrants from Northern Ireland, in Port Kennedy, a village on the south bank of the Schuylkill River. Prior to the church, residents traveled to either Great Valley or Lower Providence, or held worship meetings in the various homes of the villagers.
Church remains despite village absorbtion
What used to be Port Kennedy has subsequently been absorbed into the Valley Forge National Park. However the church still stands, and continues to provide worship services for a vibrant church community, consisting of members from an area which has eight Presbyterian churches. 15% have been members for more than 50 years, 23% have been members for less than 10 years.
Changes
Since original construction, a bell tower was added, the Sunday School room on the first floor has been divided into a chapel, nursery, choir room, bathrooms, office and pastor’s study, and a two-story Church School Building has been built where the stables once stood. Memorial funds maintain the buildings.
Cemetary
The chirch cemetery is nearly full with 534 enterred. Bequests maintain the cemetery.
Unique traditions
Members repeat John 3:16 before drinking the cup during communion.

FreeForm-J is a GUI form editor that comes with the Just BASIC programming language. Originally written by Carl Gundel, it has been taken over as a community project. This is possible because it is written in Just BASIC, and the source code is included with each copy of Just BASIC. Because of this, FreeForm-J could be modified to produce GUI code for other languages such as Java, for example.
SVR Spetsgruppa Strelok (arrow, gunner, pointer) is a virtually unknown Detachment composed of Regional Teams. Each department (geographical region) contains of 10-24 members on station or in training. Each department can receive instructions from the President of Russian Federation, Residentura, or Chief of Consular Affairs in whichever country the assignment is to take place. Our secondary role was to provide Documents and Local Intelligence on Prime Targets for Supporting Special Detachment Groups. We belong to SVR-Directorate S. Each Team Member has following training :
* Our Motto : БроÑ?ить Ð?е Тень (Cast no Shadow)
* Response : ПрÑ?татьÑ?Ñ? Ha Открытом Boздухoм. (Hide in plain sight/open air.)
These grew from the following KGB Chief Directorates:
*The First Chief Directorate (Foreign Operations) — responsible for foreign operations and intelligence-gathering. This chief directorate had many sub-directorates of its own. The First Chief Directorate also ran the Executive Action Department, or Department V, which conducted assassinations, snatches and sabotage in enemy territory.
*The Second Chief Directorate — responsible for counter-intelligence and internal political control of citizens and foreigners in the Soviet Union.
*The Fifth Chief Directorate — also responsible for internal security; originally combated political dissent; later assumed tasks of the Second Chief Directorate, such as controlling religious dissent, monitoring artists, and the censorship of media; it was renamed Directorate Z (to Protect the Constitutional Order) in 1989.
Spetsgruppa Strelok is outgrowth of Spetsgruppa Vympel. Do to Russian Society and Buearocracy constantly changing to meet new needs, all info is to be considered outdated by time of publication, as Internal Ministry doesn't allow release until it no longer represents threat.
Our patch was similar to Brigade 34-Я MВД, but w/ Big Dipper over left shoulder pointing to Polaris over beret. (similar to Alaska State Flag.)
