DATED: An old church and a new one

At the Red Rose Inn intersection I was behind a car with a bumper sticker for the Christian Life Center, "Est. 1726." This date confused me, as I knew that the CLC is in fact one of those new, large, nondenominational churches that seem to be thriving mightily while some more traditional churches are struggling for their very existence.
I learned that the CLC is in fact the lineal descendant of the New London Presbyterian Church, which was founded in 1726. New London's brick building on Route 896 is still used for weddings and funerals, but the congregation meets at the CLC, just over a mile away.
