I love this church and the people that work tirelessly for it. Such a lovely atmosphere and a wonderful place to worship.
This is a beautiful little Anglican Church that has been around since my husband, as a boy lived in the house kitty corner to this church and he has a photograph taken from his house and all there was , back then, was the lovely Anglican Church and an open field with the ONLY house anywhere , was the two storey 4 bedroom red brick house that we live in today! Amazing life isn't it? And just to add more to this story, I went to services there when I was around 11 years old, and my parents were Anglican, so I thought I would go, even if my parents didn't. So I went and I listened attentively.
But I was just a poor girl from the wrong side of the tracks in the wrong end of town! Never ever imagined that I would receive the University's Gold Medal for academic excellence and be on the Dean's List for the 4 years that I attended UWO. In London, Ontario , Canada.
Well life is amazing. The little girl from the wrong end of town and who was so shy that she rarely spoke up in class even though she was an A studentI was probably the least likely to succeed in the Elementary grades. I was too busy running to school in the morning and then running home again, after school.
I was terrified of most of my neighbourhood kids and they let me know that I didn't fit into that neighbourhood. When I started Highschool, we moved into another house, this time just barely across the tracks, the second house away from the tracks and I always had girlfriends to walk to school with. The Highschool was about 3/4 of a mile and we went home for lunch but if you were bussed in, then you ate in the school cafeteria. Nowadays the kids go to the local Submarine place. Nice to have money.
We walked to school, back home for lunch and then back to school for the afternoon and then finally back home again at the end of the school day.
The walking gave us "great legs" and wonderful complexions! It was so good for us.
So that wonderful little Anglican Church has been around a long time. I'm almost 70 and the people looking after it are doing a very good job! It looks as lovely as when it was surrounded by fields and the house that my husband grew up in!
