Story with a local angle - from Latrobe-
Pastor Prudence Harris has a favorite phrase to describe her church.
"This is a church that sits between a brewery and a brook blessed by God," she often says.
The affectionate phrase literally describes St. Stephen's AME Church in Latrobe, where Harris has presided since 2008. The 40-by-20-foot yellow wood-frame church sits between the City Brewing plant and Loyalhanna Creek.
Harris, however, will soon need a new saying to describe the African Methodist Episcopal church.
City officials have given the go-ahead to City Brewing to move the 33rd Street church to a nearby parcel of land to make room for its proposed $7.5 million wastewater treatment facility. The brewery will pay for the move, which will take place in mid-April, as well as a 32-by-20-foot addition to the church that will be used for banquets and meetings.
