When Presbytery joined Lot 16 with Bedeque North, July 1, 1968, the agreement was that the minister would be housed at the North Bedeque manse. It was not a decision to which the congregation easily con- ceded. On April 22, 1968, a congregational meeting was held at the church for the pur- pose of considering the dispos- al of the manse.

The revenue from the sale was invested for capital expendi-

tures on the church building.
