Both God and tractors have power to move mountains
CONNOQUENESSING TWP — The service at Mt. Nebo Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning was part church service, part tailgate party as dozens of parishioners brought their farm equipment and lawn chairs to the annual Drive Your Tractor to Church Day, a tradition at Mt. Nebo that spans more than a decade.
According to frequent attendee Randy Bieber, of Butler, the tradition was inspired by a man who parked his tractor near the church when some young volunteers were working on the yard nearby.
“They were fixing the flower beds up, cleaning up around the trees. Then one gentleman came by with his tractor and manure spreader,” Bieber said. “And they thought it was kind of funny. There's a tractor with a manure spreader sitting in the church parking lot.”
