to get tax work for his private law firm as part of the renovation of the Old Main Post Office, Burke allegedly made the comment that, “Well, you know as well as I do, Jews are Jews and they’ll deal with Jews to the exclusion of everybody else unless … unless there’s a reason for them to use a Christian.”

The celebration of a church anniversary, no matter how many years it has existed, is very significant. It first signifies appreciation to God for its’ existence, and then it conveys gratitude to members for their involvement, hard work and commitment to the future growth of the church through their services and giving. This year, the significance is even greater for the College Hill Baptist Church family.
The 114th year church anniversary, normally celebrated on the first Sunday in April, fell on Easter Sunday.
