Understandably, individuals who hold the same order of faith yearn to come together to share and strengthen that faith. A home is the natural place for that fellowship but, in time, as a group grows, it dreams of building a house that can be devoted wholly to worship and be of a size to hold all members of the faith: a meeting house, a church. uccessful farmers generally combine great S personal reserves of selfâ€"rehance and reliâ€" gious faith, Waterloo County‘s first settlers brought both sources of strength with them. By 1825 there were some 1,000 Germanâ€"speakâ€" ing Pennsylvanian Mennonites in Waterioo Townâ€" ship. Bishop Benjamin Eby was responsible for establishing a network among them in their homes, generally on farms, where devotional meetings could regularly be held. Only by 1851 was there a consensus that a church building could serve a larger Mennonite congregation. The building at Erb Street and Hal}â€" man Road was known as the David Eby Church after the donor of the land there. Originally of a log or frame construction, then in 1887 of red brick, the Eby Church gave long service, replaced by the Erb Street Mennonite Church only in 1902. By the time of the 1861 census, Menâ€" nonites counted for only a quarter of the township‘s population. The reliâ€" gious faith of the balance was primatrily Lutheran and Roman Catholic. Lutherans of Waterloo, originating primarily in Germany, grew after the 1830s, in part because the township was by then known as being predomiâ€" nantly German speaking. In 1841 the congregation built itself a respectable ecclesiastical home on the southeast corner of King and Bridgeport roads. Continuing immigration in the Growth led to early churches THE CLASS ACTION This notice is directed to all persons who received a Fast Cash Advance or a Payday Loan from a Money Mart store in Ontanio in the period August 19, 1997 to September 9, 2007 and repaid it by cheque on the borrower‘s next scheduled payday.

A congregation of the Germanâ€"speaking Evanâ€" gelical association, which had adopted a form of Methodism, was established in 1839. The first permanent home of the congregation in Waterloo was, to modern eyes, the remarkably modest Burkhardt House. (It can be seen on Central Street, very near King. Converted to a residence in about 1870, it has been designated a Waterloo heritage property). The plaintiffs have received financial support from the Class Proceedings Fund. As a result, if the class action is successful, the Class Proceedings Fund is entitled to 10% of any monetary award or settlement plus the amount of any financial support it paid to the plaintiffs. Built in 1849 by Samuel Burkholder as a meetâ€" ing house for the congregation, the structure was inadequate by 1870 and the Evangelicals built Emmanuel Church at Bridgeport and Dorset streets in a classic rectangular plan similar to the Lutherans‘ church, with a tall nave and a spire which soared just a little higher.
