WORSHIPPING TOGETHER
On Sunday, February 8th, former members of St. James
United Church in Mulhurst, Mameo United Church, and Millet United Church have
been specially invited to join the people of St. David’s for Sunday
worship. In the recent past, these small
United Churches to our south all made the hard but brave decisions to close
their churches. The Red Deer Presbytery approved their plans to disburse the
remaining assets - this included cash donations (totaling $25,000) to the
Leduc-Beaumont Pastoral Charge to continue United Church ministry in the
region. These gifts has been invested at
St. David’s according to our Planned
Giving policy.
