COGNASHENE COMMUNITY CHURCH SUMMER 2011

Cognashene Community Church was established in 1906 when local cottagers began to hold Sunday worship services at various cottages through the summer season.

The church moved to its permanent site in the late 1950’s when Louis and Sara Breithaupt donated the land on the Freddy Channel.More recently an adjacent lot has been acquired and developed as a memorial garden for many former cottagers.  Besides worship on Sundays, and some weddings, the site is used for community events such as the CCA annual meeting and craft and boating classes.

Come and join the Cognashene community in Christian worship on any or all Sundays from July 1st through September 2nd this year.  Services begin at 11:00 a.m. and everyone is welcome at the Church on the Freddy Channel.  The dress is casual, the setting and service always inspire, and you will have an opportunity for fellowship with your Cognashene neighbours.
