Church celebrates 150th
One of the first church congregations in this community was formed in 1854.
The Balmsville Meeting House was the first building to house this Scottish Presbyterian group.
The present stone building of the Mimosa United church is standing now 150 years later as a testimony to the initiative of these early pioneers.
The present congregation, several of whom are descendants of the original settlers, will be celebrating the first 150 years with special events for the community throughout the year.
All are welcome to attend.
