Join us Monday, January 27 at 7:00 PM, Bethany EC Church, 308 Main Street, Leesport, for a showing of the short film “From the River” by Schott Productions. The history of Reading and Berks County is multi-faceted and fascinating, from its early history as hunting grounds for the Lenape natives and its inclusion in the William Penn Land Grant, to the innovative creation of industry, transportation and products, to the city’s political controversies, economic booms and losses, and the cultural growth of the 20th century. But these are more than events to be pulled from the archives of history books, they are stories populated by heroes and villains, innovators and disrupters, men and women, and immigrants from around the world, with experiences that are both unique to its heritage and reflective of the country. Tracy Schott will be available for meet and greet after the showing. The program will be held in the church sanctuary upstairs.
