| Beginning in 1941, the church has been used as a voting place. With the declaration of World War II, people were again called into service. Here at home, people accustomed themselves to rationing of essential commodities. Special services were held for servicemen's families. And for awhile during the war, Rev. Burggraaff was shared with Boonton Molding Company where he did personnel work.
In 1943, we celebrated our 75th Anniversary --- the church's diamond jubilee. there was published a comprehensive booklet containing many photographs of organizations and an informative history. At special services, Rev. D.M. Wade of he Montville Reformed Church took part along with Rev. G.L. McCain of the Presbyterian Church of Boonton and Rev. L.W. Pancake of the Mountian Lakes Community Church. The anniversary fund drive resulted in new chairs and hymnals for the Sunday School, general benevolence, and needed repairs at the parsonage. A previous gift had enabled a sun porch to be added to the parsonage.
In 1944, the old organ was sold to Mt. Carmel Holy Church in Montclair, and a new pipe organ was purchased for $1,000. Soon after that, chimes were donated, connected to the organ console, and wired for broadcasting from the tower. An amplification system and speakers in the belfry were donated and installed to enable appropriate sacred music to be sent out from the tower. Neighbors of the church, accustomed to hearing the Sunday church bells, now also enjoyed hearing Saturday afternoon vespers and special Christmas and Easter music wafted from the tower. In the spring of 1949, three consecutive services of our church were broadcast over Morris County radio station WMTR.
