From the Lebanon Daily News:
Kelly Bell sensed something was different when her family arrived for yesterday morning’s worship service at St. Mark’s United Church of Christ. “When we pulled in, I saw the cones there,” Bell said, referring to orange traffic cones that had been set up to block off parking spaces on the church’s north side along Mifflin Street. “Then I got the kids out of the van and asked Ginny (Yingst, the church secretary, who was standing outside with a camera) what was going on, and she said, ‘The senator’s coming,’” Bell said. “The senator” was Barack Obama, who is a member of a United Church of Christ congregation in Chicago....Zachary Diehm, a sophomore at Cedar Crest High School and a church member, had a tough time finding a word to describe Obama’s visit before settling on “honorable.” “We talk about it a lot in class,” he said of the presidential race. “It shows a lot of character for him to come to a church and not make a big deal out of it.”
