‘Spooky Stroll Through Time’ set for Oct. 23

The Emmanuel Reformed Church of the United Church of Christ in Murrysville will mark the month of Halloween by hearkening back to the congregation’s largely German heritage with “A Spooky Stroll Through Time” on Oct. 23.

Historical interpreters from the congregation and community will tell the story of the German immigrants who settled the area, including a guided graveyard walk followed by a sit-down German meal of sauerbraten, potato salad and dessert at 6:30 p.m.

The cost for the tour and dinner is $20, and reservations are required by calling 724-327-3050.

The church is at 3618 Hills Church Road in Murrysville.
