100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA
There will be e celebration of the Centennial of the Presbyterian Church in
Canada in 1975, commemorating the joining cf e11 the Presbyterian Churches z
which were seperate units with different roots or were geographically separa-
ted. This union took plece in First Church, Montreal, in 1875 and Dr. Cooke
of St. Andrew's, Quebec, was the first Moderator. Since then the united
family has contributed much to Canada and to the Kingdom of God in this coun-
try end beyond,
In what way can we, as a congregation, help to celebrate this Centennial?
First of all, we should all become more familiar with the history of the
= Church through the Old and New Testaments, during the Reformation, and during
our life in Cenade end our work abroed. This can be done by forming small
study groups with interested people and studying along these lines.
Secondly, we can use special services occasionally to highlight events in
the life of the Church and perhaps special musical services with gospel
