A History of St. Mark’s (Cannifton) United Church

Faith, fellowship, food and fun! These underlying themes helped form the history of St. Mark’s United Church and showed in the congregational support given during the production of the book. This was heard in the stories from the people who attended the former churches making up St. Mark’s (Bethany, Cannifton, Carmel, Centre Street and Gilead) as well as from those presently going to the amalgamated church. The editor also discovered these themes as he read the meager data that existed on those founding Methodist and Presbyterian churches. Not all elements appear in all instances but in its own unique way each has helped in the creation of St. Mark’s.
