A HUNDRED years of work by the Church of Christ in Pyramid Hill was celebrated on Sunday when members were joined by worshippers from across the region for a special service.
Among them were Keith and Frances Pitt who were married in the timber church 60 years ago in February 1965.
The church had been built by Edgar Streader who rode his bike from Boort each day 100 years ago.
Following Sunday’s service, his son and retired builder Alan Streader, 99, had the honour of cutting the centenary cake.
The service was led by local church leaders Jean Mann and Glen Broad.
Among the capacity congregation was Jean’s father Don Farrar, 90, who has attended the church since arriving in Pyramid Hill as a four-year-old in 1938.
Don said he was pleased with the large attendance. 
“I have been able to again sit in my customary place instead up near the front ... under the window in a pew near the entrance to the church.
“I enjoy worshipping here and it is wonderful to see people from other churches here today,” Don said.
Jean in her semon said: “As a church today, our anniversary celebration naturally turns our gaze back on our history.
“Be we must let that history be part of our movement into the future.”
