I'm going to be traveling to Wilkes Barre, PA and am hoping to locate an AME church in or near there. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks. ______ -JM ŻŻŻŻŻŻ

No, Wilkes-Barre is in the Pittsburgh Conference, 3rd Episcopal District, and there is a progressive congregation, I am almost sure the name, Bethel, located there. At one time this was one of the flag-ship congregations on the Scranton District but that District has now been merged with the Allegheny and Pittsburgh Districts.

Be blessed in the Lord with a visit to Bethel, WIlkes-Barre.

WilkesBarre, PA is indeed in the 3rd Episcopal District. Infact the Pittsburg Conference, of which WB is a part, will be meeting in Annual Conference this week. UThe Conference is being held in Erie, PA. Not certain of the distance between the two cities, however you can call the 3rd Episcopal District office at (614)575-2279 to secure informtion on the location and or fone number for Bethel, WB
