Forty-nine years ago, in Centennial year 1967, the three pastoral charges of Maberly, Sharbot Lake and Parham joined together to form one unit, named the Centenary Pastoral Charge, to serve God by sharing prayers, resources, clergy, committees, sacred spaces, and sharing their joys and sorrows together.
This year, on June 26 we celebrated the 49th anniversary of the charge (including the churches of Long Lake, Maberly, Oconto, Oso, Parham, Sharbot Lake, Tichborne, Wagarville, Zealand); the 142nd anniversary of our host church, Parham United Church; and the 91st anniversary of the United Church of Canada. We gathered together to thank God for our past and put the future into God's hands. The service was led by our minister Rev. Jean Brown, with special guest speaker Sarah Magie (and Emma) and special guest Rev. Eric Barr. Thank you, Parham, for hosting the service. Everything was fabulous!!!
