CUMBERLAND — During the tour, the Rev. John Krueger stops in the church kitchen and points out the wooden cabinets. They have a history, he said: They used to be pews. A couple of members of St. John United Church of Christ built custom cabinets for the kitchen in the church’s Muesing Activity Center at Carroll Road and Prospect Street. The congregation began worshiping there in October after vacating its 101-year-old building at 11000 E. Washington St. Just a few weeks — a few sermons — later, the church’s pastor accepted a position at a church in Missouri. Krueger, a retired United Church of Christ minister and 12-year member of the church, offered to serve as interim minister. He leads a congregation that, like a church pew transformed into a cabinet, bears not only a rich history but also potential for a new fit, a new usefulness in its current setting....
