Norval Church Celebrates 329th Presbyterian Anniversary
Norval Presbyterian Church marked 329 years of the Presbyterian Church in Norval with Rev D G M Herron of Calvin Presbyterian Toronto as guest speaker at morning and evening services. Choir junior choir and soloist Mr Simon Frankfuyter of Georgetown performed. Schulmerich Magne Bell and organ chimes were dedicated by Rev R Duncanson. Villagers enjoyed hymns and plans for a long future of chimes were noted. Separately a suspected child-pickup incident near the village prompted warnings to parents and students to avoid strangers and report any suspicious activity. A weiner roast by the river, dance chaperone notes, Rover and Jaycee activities, and regular community meetings were reported. Talks highlighted safety, Centennial costumes, cairn dedication set for June 24, and Maple Sugar Jubilee discussions.
