of Kathleen Banbury, and
Janet Dalton, Alvin Dodds and Ab and Lou
Whitney were at the special dedication
service on Sept. 9.
It was those people who left the
bequeaths that made the project possible
when work first began on the wing in
1998.
In addition to the wing, the project
included a new parking lot and, through
the bequeaths, some computers brought
into the Sunday school to help introduce
children growing up in the computer -age to
the Word of God.
Money from the bequeaths was also able
to help support local and world outreach
funds and a benevolance fund which has
helped people in the community from an
abused woman who needed help setting up
an apartment to another person needing
help with gas money to be able to visit a
relative.
"I think it's important to let people know
Northside is helping the community," said
Macgregor. "We're trying to be there for
the community if we can."
The Millennium Wing got started
through the leadership of the trustees, with
Don McKercher as chair at that time, and
through the support of the congregation
that approved the expansion to the church.

With the release of red helium balloons,
the children of Northside United Church
helped the congregation celebrate the
official opening of its Millennium Wing.
The wing, featuring an elevator/lift for
those unable to take the stairs in the
church, was the culmination of about three
year's of work and planning.
"The main purpose of this was to make
the church accessible to everyone," said
Rev. Sheila Macgregor.
Now, after last week's terrorist attacks in
New York, Macgregor said it stands as a
symbol of hope as well, showing people
that God can triumph.
"Hopefully this is a beacon of hope in a
world that really is bleak of hope right
now," she said.
Designed by Burt Dennis, a former
Seaforth District High School student and
built locally by Smith Construction, the
wing features the lift and a wheelchair
accessible washroom on the second floor
with change tables for families to use.
It opens to the north entrance of the
sanctuary on both floors and was
completed through bequeaths of several
church families as a project of about
$340,000.

- enthusiastic in these projects," said Marlen
Vincent who chaired the committee that
organized the recent celebration of the new
wing.
He said the ceremony helped bring back
a lot of memories of the history of the
church as everyone gathered together to
celebrate the expansion's opening.
Ken Oldacre, chair of the renovations
committee said the trustees arc now
suggesting a possible second phase to the
work started.
Included would be updated meeting
rooms and a modernized kitchen.
The project has not been taken to the
congregation for approval yet but Oldacre
and Vincent remain hopeful it will approve
further improvements to the church.
