ABOVE: The Rev. James D. Von Dreele, our executive director, preaches at many churches, telling the story of the port -- and Seamen's Church Institute's role in it. In these photos, he is at First Baptist Church of Levittown-Fairless Hills, the Rev. Christine Holcomb pastor. This year its members knitted 388 watchcaps and provided more than 1,000 magazines for seafarers. Father Von Dreele gave chocolates to the children and told how seafarers bring cocoa beans to Pennsylvania and New Jersey candy factories. After the service he led a good discussion on the maritime industry's value to our economy. Posted 2011. |
