Oak Shade Mennonite Church (Quarryville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA)
Oak Shade Mennonite Church, located in the Baptist Chapel, Kirkwood, Route 1, Lancaster County, PA, was opened by the Mennonites (Mennonite Church) in 1923, with Abram L. Huber in charge. The results among the Scottish-Irish here were somewhat disappointing and the work closed in late 1930. But when more Mennonites moved into southern Lancaster County it was reopened on 14 May 1933. In 1957 the membership was 35. It is the southern end of the Jacob L. Harnish Bishop District. Ray S. Yost and Mervin A. Good were the ministers.
