It was a joyous occasion when the Fairview United and Rockingham United Churches became one to form the Hillside Untied Church!
A Covenanting, Dedication and Installation Service was held in the Church at 12 Flamingo Drive, followed by an Agape Meal and Celebration in the Church Hall after the Service.
The Service was led by Rev. Angela MacLean, who spoke of bringing together the two congregations and the importance of continuing the work of God in this world. Special guest, the Rev. Michael Blair, General Secretary of the United Church of Canada, spoke eloquently of the beauty of bringing congregations together with strength to build on the experience of the churches elders to be joined with the youth and new members of today.
The musical presentations and the choir during the service were all very beautiful and contributed to what was a very uplifting Service.
The Churches Mission Statement, “stronger together, welcoming to all, caring for all of God’s Creation”, was evident throughout the entire day.
Many congratulations to all on this momentous occasion!
