The Glencoe & District Historical Society contributed $1,500 toward the preservation of this church. Lorne Munroe understood that heritage is not something that belongs only to the past. He made the motion and a few of us wondered why we needed to support a London project. But we passed the motion. Seeing that church in active use, full of community members engaged with story and song, made that investment feel like so much more than money.
