Quoting from historical facts it says, "The rubbish was cleared from the loft over Sam Hawkins blacksmith shop, sawdust was spread on the floor, scats were arranged with lumber resting on blocks and a small stand served as a pulpit." An outside stairway was'repaired and by this means the people climbed to the loft. On Christmas Sunday 1887, Mr. A. M. Wilson, who was a local li- censed preacher, conducted the first church service and preached the first sermon. Plans were soon made to build the first Church and began in Octo- ber 1888, on land donated, the site chosen was the lot north of the stables and ,hotel. Logs were do- nated by the people of the commu- nity. The building was completed in December 1888. In February 1890, there was a building debt of S65. and tea meet- ings were held to raise money to remove the debt. All accounts and notes had been paid by 1893, and there was a balance in the treasury of S16. In 1899 the church was moved to a better location on land donated by Mr. McGinnis, which as we know now, situated between Don and Mabel Fraser' and Fred and Mary Seniors hear LUCAN - The Sunshine Group and Busy Buddies met February 2 at the Scout Hall in Lucan.

Until 1925 when church union took place Shipka was on Grand Bend circuit, and af- ter union joined the Crediton cir- cuit. In October 1938 the fiftieth anni- versary of the Shipka United Church was held. The first baby christened in Shipka was Miss Pearl Keyes and the last baby to receive the rite was Miss Jan Pickering. The Shipka Church closed in 1963, and the building is now used for storage purposes on the premis- es of Harvey Ratz. The seats and pulpit are now in Mary Ellen Chapel at Lambton County Heri- tage Museum. The Womens association or La- dies Aid was organized on March 26, 1924, during the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Maines. Mrs. Ernest ° Keyes was the first president. Those women contributed in many ways to the work of the church in the community; and to missionary work. They embroi- dered, quilted, held socials, bazaars an cooking sales, cared for the sick, assisted with repairing and decorat- ing the church and parsonage and aided in support of the minister. It is believed the work of this associa- tion brought the women of Shipka together and fostered a most admira- ble community spirit. Personals Congratulations to Pte.
