}} Princeton United Methodist Church is a United Methodist congregation located at 7 Vandeventer Avenue in Princeton, New Jersey. The church is located on Nassau Street, directly across from Princeton University. ==History== Methodist circuit riders made periodic visits to minister in private homes to groups of Princeton Methodists. A congregation was founded in 1847 under the name, Princeton Methodist Episcopal Church. The original church building occupied the eastern portion of the present church frontage on Nassau Street, with the corner with Vandeventer occupied by the house of Dr. Bartine, a physician and church member. The first floor was the sanctuary while the basement provided rooms for Sunday School. The first pastor was Joseph Ashbrook.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://princetonumc.org/about_us/church-history/ )〕 By 1905 plans were drawn up for a new church. The Rev. Dr. James M. Buckley described the need:
The present sanctuary was dedicated in 1911, with Dr. Bartine's property bought out and donated by Moses Taylor Pyne, himself and Episcopalian. An education wing was opened in 1959, and an expansion to that wing in 2002. The church installed electronic bells in 1997 which play after the clock strikes (also electronic) at noon and 5pm on weekdays. On Sundays a hymn is played at 10:45am and 12:15pm. A hymn is played appropriate to the church season drawn from a selection of 300 traditional, Methodist, or gospel hymns. The church has services at 9:30 and 11:00am on Sundays with church school at the 9:30 hour.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.umc.org/find-a-church/church/13926 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Princeton United Methodist Church」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
