Sunday June 24th was Dedication Day at Hope United Church Alvinston.
With family present, the new stain glass in the choir loft was dedicated in memory of the late Howard Byrans and Don McKellar. Created by Pat Copeland, the stain glass consists of eight panels of depictions from the bible. In addition, the Summer Team was called forward and introduced. The congregation prayed from them, and in a short service dedicated.
This Sunday was also Promotion Sunday for the Sunday School. All Sunday School teachers and their classes were called forward and reconized. A short overview of what was taught during the year was said for each class. Following church, a Sunday School picnic took place at Ipperwash Beach for the afternoon and early evening. It was a fitting event to finish off the Sunday School year and events of the day.
