| 42 | Basement Facilities for the Love Feast at Big Swatara, Hanoverdale Spring and fall love feasts brought hundreds of visitors from other Dunkard congregations, as well as other Anabaptist fellowships of the area. The event involved three days of preaching, singing, the Lord's Supper in bread and wine, feet washing, using the holy kiss (sisters to sisters, brothers to brothers) and many times baptisms in a nearby branch of the Swatar. Baptisms were performed, face forewards, dipping converts completely, three times, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Not unusually, baptisms took place in the winter, where a hole was cut into the ice. | ||

| 44 | ![]() | Big Swatara Meetinghouse at Hanoverdale in the late 1800s The Lord in Heaven greatly blessed the work amongst the German Baptist believers in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, during the 1800s. But the evil one also did his part in planting seeds of apostasy, division and spiritual disorder. Thankfully, through many challenges, the work continues today. --Photo from the Elizabethtown College Church of the Brethren Photographic Collection | |
