     Dedication Sunday, Miminegash Church Hall, June 9, 1983 
     
    
   
   
    
     In addition to music by our organist, Mrs. Blanche Crockett, special Klusmeier 
     
     music was also provided by a Choral Sextet consisting of George Carruthers, Nancy 
     
     and Sharon Crane, Miriam, John, and Ruth Russell. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Ushers for the service were Ross MacKay and Wade Mclnnis. Collections for 
     
     church expenses amounted to over $300.00. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Gifts to the Miminegash United Church in memory of John Burton Rix were 
     
     acknowledged in the form of permanent floral bouquets for the altar from family 
     
     members, and a choir light, a gift from Margaret (Maclnnis) Davenport, Esther 
     
     (Maclnnis) Owler, and Helen (Maclnnis) Nelson. It was recalled by the Rev. 
     
     Stewart B. Russell that Burt Rix enjoyed attending Worship Services, and that the 
     
     new light would symbolize the pleasure which Burt Rix experienced in his love for 
     
    
   
   
    
     'he church. 
     
    
   
   
    
     At the ribbon cutting ceremony, John McInnis, who was in charge of the con- 
     
     struction, provided the scissors for Robert E. Maclnnis, church Elder and Chairman 
     
     of the Building Committee, to cut the ribbon. Symbolically, the Sunday School 
     
     children then entered the New Church Hall to signify the opening of the building as 
     
     part of its use as a Sunday School. The Rev. Robert A. Crooks read the Prayer of 
     
     Dedication and the Rev. Stewart B. Russell declared the hall officially dedicated and 
     
    
   
   
    
     open for use.
