St. Stephen's are fortunate that they still have the records that go back to the very beginning of this con- gregation.The first services were held in the homes and the first person to be baptized by an Anglican Clergyman is recorded as being James Wiggins, in 1856. The records show that it was not until early 1869 that the actual building of the present church was started. In July of that year the corner stone was laid by the very Rev. Issac muth, Dean of Huron and later Bishop of the Diocese of Huron: St. Stephens's was filled to overflowing for the services' on Sunday and many former members returned to St. Stephen's to join the con- gregation in offering Thanks- giving and Praise for the fact that the guiding hand of God had been with this church down through the yearS since 1856 and to ask His Blessing upon it in the future: A dedication was made during the. Morning Service "To the. Glory of God and in memory of Sarah and Norman Wade." The memorial was given by. their son Robert Wade and Family and consisted of the re- storation of three leaded stained glass windows. The Rev. E.C. Atwell, former Rector,Was the guest preacher at the 11 o'clock service of Holy Communion. The clergy participating were: The Rev. Can Orrence Laramie, The Rev. Harry Jennings and the Rev. E. Atwell. The choir with Mrs. Brain Underwood accompanying them. The ladies of the church served a picnic dinner for everyone present immediately after the service and this allowed the people time for fellowship and sharing, and renewing of old friendships. A. half hour of con- gregational singing started 7:30 p.m., led by Mrs. ENanor' Laramie and Mr. David Daunt, a student at Renison College, Waterloo and a member. 9f the Ford- wich congregation played the accordion accompaniment. The Rev. Kenneth Anderson was the guest speaker at the service of Evensong. Mr. Anderson was a member of St. Stephen's as a young man going to school and had very happy memories of the years, he lived in Gorrie. His Father, the Rev. George Anderson.
