Anniversary Sunday

On Sunday, May 31st we celebrated the 190th Anniversary of First Baptist Church Simcoe!

Our guest speaker was Rev. Elaine Poproski, who had been at our church from 1998 to 2016.

Special music was from the quartet of Jim Carroll, Marianne Irvin, Elisabeth Duckworth and John Wallace.

There was a reception after the service, with historical displays and pre-recorded interviews from some members of our church.

Delicious finger food was enjoyed by all!

Thank you to the committee members: Julie Forde, John-Paul Stewart, John Wallace, Jim Carroll, Tiffany Forde, Pam Almon, and Eva Dixon.
