A Church That Holds Generations | Canada News
Description
This little red-brick church, Merivale United, has stood for over 150 years as a quiet heartbeat in the heart of modern hustle—where Kathy Nesbitt Howard’s family roots run deep, from building its original log meeting house in 1849 to her grandparents’ active roles. Once surrounded by farmland and hay wagons, the church was more than a place of worship—it was the community’s hub, where news spread and neighbors gathered. Generations kept it alive: ancestors lit fires on Sundays, her father dug graves for seven dollars, and her grandmother meticulously preserved their story. Though the congregation is smaller now, sharing a minister and undergoing renovations for accessibility, the church remains a living monument to rural heritage, holding fast to history amid the city’s rush.
