ST. JOHN'S ANGLICAN CHURCH

Since 1973 various changes and improvements have been made to the Church. In 1978 a large Memorial Window was installed in the' south end of the Church--given to the Glory of God and In Loving Memory Of the Collett family and Harvey Weeks. Other Memorials given were a Processional Cross In Memory Of the late Mrs. Louis (Dorothy) Sherren ; a set of brass collection plates In Memory Of the late Willis Judson; and a set of frontal hangings In Memory Of the late Mrs. Fred (Emily) Sherren.

In 1979, during the time Rev. Michael Nurse was Rector, plans were made at a special meeting of the congregation to raise the Church and put in a new foundation and make a Church Hall for Sunday School and meetings, -- with a kitchen and washrooms. This was com— pleted in 1980 and is a great asset to the Church.

During excavation for the basement, the brick vault containing the remains of the late Mrs. Hilcoat was found and placed in the Church Cemetery. Her tombstone still remains in the centre aisle of

the Church.
