This year, the church celebrates its 120th ' anniversary of the church which -was built in 1865. I Alan Rivett photo) • Mandies at age 75 By Elizabeth A. Kettlewell when the congregation of the®St. Paul's Anglican Church in Clinton attended the ser- vige of consecration of -their =newly built church in November 1865, it must surely have been the most joyful celebration in the history of their church.. It was indeed a renewal of personal faith 'in their- belief "in -miracles !-In-Januarrof— that same year their three-year-old curch had been totally destroyed by fire, an in just 11 inonths, this dedicated, ambitious con- gregation not only built, but completely paid for their new church. The Lord Bishop of the Diocese of Huron celebrated that historic occasion with them. This joyful event was celebrated again at St. Paul's on Sunday, December 1, 1985 when the guest celebrant bishop Derwyn I). Jones re -dedicated the church on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of the building and consecration of this historic Anglican chur- ch. Following the processional hynui, The Rev. Gordon Sinunons, rector of St. Paul's, greeted the congregation and visitors, and announced that the Feast of Dedication ser. . vice_would: be_ taken -from. the_ new_I3ook - (if Alternative Services of the Anglican Church of Canada. The Collect of the day was read by Bishop Jones, followed by the actual service of re- dedication which took place at the front. Ac- companying the Bishop during this portion of the service were Rev. Simmons assisted by Grant Morgan; John Morgan, who assisted the bishop; and Jeff Taylor serving as cross -bearer. The first Lesson was taken from the Old Testament book of Jeremiah which was read by -Jeff McNairn: John Cochrane. read the second lesson from the book of Thessalo- nians. The reading of the Holy Gospel was from St. Luke, read by Rev. Sinununs. Under the direction of the St. Paul's organist and_ choir leader, laurel Lavis, the choir sang the anthem. The guest soloist was the talented Barbara Hodgins who sang and played on the guitar her original curn- position.based on the story_of. the St. Pa uI's fire in 1865. In the sermon, Bishop Jones spoke on the meaning of the liturgical words, "As it was in the beginning, is now, and shall ever be," applying it to the problems faced at the.time of the disaterous fire, and the'challenges of today's congregations. He Spoke of the con- stant changes of church life, and the need to grow and benefit by changes. He. stressed the -importance -of- revering -history- of- the— church, and the acconcplishrnents of its ear- ly members. Prior to the celebration of Holy Currunu- ninn, Mrs; Beth Sin,rnnns, wife of th< It<•r _ tor, lead the reading of the Litany. The ser- vice was concluded with the singing of the Doxology by the choir. A social hour in the Parrish Hall was ar- ranged by the Ladies of the 'St. Paul's Friendship Guild, and was a time of refreshments and enjoyable visiting with old friends. Among—the—congregation greeted at St. Paul's, a warm welcome was extended to several members who are now residents at Huronview. Out of town visitors, well known to the parrish were the Rev. Douglas S. Pitts and Mrs. Pitts of Bayfield, and Rev. George and Mrs. Youmatoff of Bayfield. Bishop Jones enjoyed meeting meeting St. Paul's youngest meinber, Nathanial Peel, son of Carol and Alan Peel. The Bishop was also greatly interested in talking to Mrs. Cela Beacom Sloman, Clinton's. Member of the Order of Canada, as descendant of the Beacom fancily who were early Clinton set- tlers, and active throughout the history of St. Paul's. Bishop Jones recalled the occasion during his student years, 40 years ago, when he preached -at -St -Paul's. ,11is presence at the service of celebration on Sunday ,will be recorded as a delightful highlight in this year which marks the 150th birthday of St. Paul's Anglican Church, Clinton.
