Victoria West Presbyterian Church

I took a quick detour off Rte. 2 on Saturday morning to take photos of these two Churches. This is the Victoria West Presbyterian Church, built in 1887. As you travel on Rte. 130 west you can see the steeples of this church and about a half mile further up the road the Victoria West United Church.

Below: I took these photos around 11am - as I took a side view of the window the light reflected the colour of the stained glass.

HERITAGE PRAYER

We keep forgetting all of those who lived before us.

We keep forgetting those who lived and worked in our communities.
We keep forgetting those who prayed and sang hymns in our churches before we were born.
We keep forgetting what our fathers have done for us.
We commit the sin, Lord, of assuming that everything begins with us.

We drink from wells we did not find.
We eat food from farmland we did not develop.
We enjoy freedoms which we have not earned.
We worship in churches which we did not build.
We live in communities we did not establish.
This day, make us grateful for our heritage.

Amen
