Christmas Services at the Old Stone Church
The restored Old Stone Church, formerly the Pine Mill German Episcopal Methodist Church near Muscatine will again welcome holiday worshipers. The simple sanctuary with its antique pump organ is a wonderful setting for the nativity story, and it has become a popular Christmas destination for area families. The service features a lot of singing, the Christmas story in German and ends with music by candlelight. Plan to arrive early to secure a seat. Participants should be able to walk up a gravel incline to the church entrance. Directions from Highway 61 are well marked. The church is located near the Pine Creek Mill and Wild Cat Den State Park. Drive past the Pine Creek Mill parking lot and turn left at the stop sign. Stay on this winding gravel road with narrow bridges. The church is one mile ahead at an intersection.
