A large crowd turned out Saturday for the Cordova Bay United Church community BBQ and children’s fun day in celebration of the United Church of Canada’s 100th anniversary.
Friends and neighbours of all ages enjoyed free hot dogs, drinks, chips and cake.
“Turning 100 is an incredible milestone,” said Pastor Beth Parsons. “And we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with our friends and neighbours.”
There was a bouncy castle for the kids, along with face painting, rock painting, games and crafts. And children left with a goody bag of treats.
It is a wonderful way to build community.
The United Church of Canada was formed on June 10, 1925 when the Methodist, Congregational and Presbyterian churches of Canada joined together.
