WELLANDPORT ANNIVERSARY

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH WAS FOUNDED 106 YEARS AGO

[Welland-Port Colborne Evening Tribune, 5 November 1941]

Wellandport, Nov. 5-The anniversary service of the Presbyterian church on Sunday afternoon was largely attended and the music furnished by the choir of First United church, St. Catharines, under the leadership of Arthur Hannahson was beautifully rendered and well received. Rev. James Ferguson spoke in an inspiring and forceful manner, taking as his subject, “I am the Lord, your God.” He was assisted by Rev. Wood of Beamsville and Rev. Kane of Dunnville, who told the congregation that the Wellandport church was celebrating its 106th anniversary and that many years ago it was connected with Dunnville. Each year a great many of the old boys and girls attend this anniversary of their church in memory of other years and it has become an event of interest to many from distant points. Visitors were present from Hamilton, Buffalo, Homer, Welland, St. Catharines, Beamsville, Dunnville and Stevensville.
