Thanks, fixed.
This church has had a historic mission on the UWS. Was started in the 1830s by St. Michaels uptown in order to serve the African-American community in Seneca Village. You can still see the cornerstone in a grassy area near Spector Playground. Throughout its history, when the church serves the poor, attendance and giving increase; when it doesn’t, they wane.
When can items be dropped off?
