Matthews-Redmond House, Alberton

Below is the former Gerald Redmond House on Main Street, Alberton - the house has been long abandoned, owned by relatives away.
Some older Alberton residents recall this being a Matthews Home before Mr. Redmond.

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
