A 105 year tradition has ended.
Yesterday (Sun) was the final Third Avenue United Church service.
A congregational vote was taken in February as to whether the congregation would continue in the historic building, and the result because of a dwindling membership and high costs was to say no.
The Church had a 5-year plan agreement with River Bend Presbytery and the hope was that Third Avenue United would be self-sufficient by the end of 2018 without using any of the interest from their investments.
The Presbytery had said they didn’t want to negotiate an extension.
The building is currently up for sale and the Church’s lease agreement ends this fall, so it was decided June 30th would be their final official day and this past Sunday the final service.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
