A JOURNEY IN FAITH:   THE STORY OF SQUAMISH UNITED CHURCH

 

This history of Squamish United Church is based on a document prepared in 1988.  It is dedicated to the memory of Freda (Munro) Clarke (1907-1983), who was responsible for researching and writing the largest part of the material.  Because of her love of history and our congregation, we are able to pass her knowledge on to future congregations to enjoy. She is lovingly remembered.

Our past is worth knowing. It gives the present its setting, and thereby has a steadying influence. It gives a sense of proportion. What seemed a mountain, with the lapse of time, may be seen to be only a molehill.  The document has a charm all its own. It warms the heart with interest and amusement.  It awakens memories; many that bless, and perchance some that burn. Over its landscape there ever stands a rainbow.

Committee:  Nancy Hutchinson, Fern Green, Lynette Halvorson, June Halvorson
