Does anyone have a book or listing of births/baptisms/marriages/deaths etc. from the St. Paul's Lutheran and Reformed Church (St. Pauls Blue Church) in Upper Saucon Twp.?

Is information from this church published somewhere. I would be happy to buy a book if it exists. I am in Minnesota and can't just run over there, so I would appreciate any information I can get.
Thanks,

Hello.
I am very new at this and I do not know how to ask for help, so please forgive
my informality. HELP!! I am searching for any LOOPER (LUPER/LOPER/LUPPER) prior
to 1790. My ggggrandfather was Daniel Looper(Luper). He died between March and
August 1808 leaving a widow Sarah and eight children who are accounted for (I
think) He is listed in the 1790 census as being in Iredell Co. NC I believe
there was a Joseph LOOPER next door to him, and listed in SC for the 1790
census. Also listed I think is a Wi
Hi, I'm new to this mailing list. I have been researching my many
family lines in Westmoreland County for a number of years--Bortz,
Brindle, Fennel, Kuhns, Alcorn, Weisner, Gindelsperger, Shaffer, Bauman.
Of course, most of these families first lived in eastern PA (all but the
Alcorns who came straight from Ireland to settle in Westmoreland). The
list expands in eastern PA and Germany to include Ruth, Stambach,
Dreisbach, Eberhard, Raschenberger, Sassmannshausen, Schmeyer, Weil,
Wolf, Mueller, and fami

Greetings,
Looking to make connections with other SHAFER (and all variations)
researchers with relatives in Northampton Co., PA.
In particular, my 2g-gf, John SHAFER, Sr. was b. 5.18.1801 in West Penn
Twp. (now part of Schulykill Co.). John married Magdalena "Molly"
FRYMAN (FREYMAN) in the early 1830's. Most probable of two dates I have
is 2.16.1832 with the ceremony conducted by the Rev. John Zulick.
Best Regards,
