Centenary Pastoral Charge 49th anniversary

Rev. Jean Brown | Jun 01, 2016

Forty-nine years ago, the Centenary Pastoral Charge, which includes the United churches of Parham, Maberly and Sharbot Lake, was founded in Centennial year 1967. On Sun. June 26, they will celebrate their anniversary at a shared service at Parham United Church with guest leader, soon-to-be-Rev. Sarah Magie, at 11am, and all are welcome. The sister church at Sharbot Lake will be closed for that one Sunday so that both churches can celebrate their anniversary together and welcome back Sarah, who served there some years ago.

Sarah, who completed her Master of Divinity at Queen's University in December of 2014, is a chaplaincy student in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and her spouse, James Rodgers, is an artillery officer in the CAF. They live in Oromocto, New Brunswick and have a daughter, Emma, who is one and a half years old.

Everyone is welcome to the special anniversary service Sun. June 26 at Parham United Church at 11am. There will be a pot-luck lunch following, with meat provided so please, if you are able, bring salads, pickles, fruit and cheese trays, desserts. Come and renew acquaintance with Sarah, worship God and visit friends and neighbours.
