L.H. Community Church
New Community Church Opened
Church services were held in the new ultra-modern Terrace Bay Community Church on Sunday, December 9 when the morning church service was conducted by the Minister, Rev. Arthur F. Lavender. The evening service was conducted by Rev. Owen G. Barrow who in Terrace Bay's early days shared ministerial responsibilities with Rev. Lavender when Community Church services were conducted in the original Recreation Hall with the billiard tables in the background.
The official dedication of the Church took place on Wednesday evening, December 12. Rev. C. H. Best of Winnipeg conducted the ceremony of dedication and Rev. M. Goodman of Fort William was guest preacher. Representing the Presbytery of Superior was Rev. E. S. Stephens. Following the dedication a social hour was held in Church Hall.
