“I came here in 1955 from North Carolina when my husband got a job at J&L. This [Bethel Missionary Baptist Church] has been my church home since March 1956. I have a boy and a girl — my son lives in Texas, my daughter in Detroit. My husband’s been dead about 13 years now so I’ve been the sole owner and maintainer of our home since then. And I work — Monday through Friday at Hoffman Drug downtown [Aliquippa].”

[Anita Walker, a friend and fellow parishioner adds her praise]: “She’s always on top of everything about the church. She’s a trustee here, and has been our acting custodian for years now. Nobody asked her, she just saw it needed done and stepped up. So when I need anything, I call her. And she texts!”

Erin Ninehouser loves photography for its ability to reveal truths and insights that are often too difficult to capture with words. She believes, as Garrison Keillor says through his troubled yet triumphant character Barbara in Pontoon, that “the only sermon that counts is the one formed by our actions.” A native of New Castle, Erin has made her home in Ambridge where she lives happily with her wonderful husband Dave, their three adorable and hilarious cats, and their “old gentleman” dog, Max. Erin is excited to help tell the stories of the people of Beaver County. You can see more of her work on Facebook and connect on Instagram or Twitter.
