Ballinafad Church Marks 75th Anniversary Celebration
The Ballinafad United Church observed its 75th anniversary last Sunday September 13 with two sermons by Rev. McLaughlan and Jan Williams, special music by the choir, and duets by Mr. and Mrs F. J. Shortill. The article recalls the 1878 founding when Presbyterians built the church, the early organ, and the first ministers and elders, with community memories of the manse, pews, and local families. It notes the 2 congregations union into the United Church of Canada in June and lists past ministers leading to Rev. N Waddell and successors. The piece also mentions forestry investment and related government revenue.
