Dedication at Austin United Church Reveals Gift Cabinet
On Sunday February 9 a dedication of a gift was held at Austin United Church for a beautifully made cabinet housing a three piece communion set.

The origin is uncertain but may be the original set from the First Presbyterian Church opening in 1894 in Austin. A brief history is planned to be placed in the cabinet.
