WORSHIPPERS at Pyramid Hill Church of Christ are preparing for the denomination’s centenary in the town this month.
Church secretary Jean Mann said it was hoped the centenary service and luncheon would be an opportunity to welcome people back to the town and church.
“We are only a small congregation and it would be good to see a large attendance at the centenary,” she said.
Following the successful mission by Brothers Henrichson and Pratt in April, 1925, a church was then organised.
Financial assistance from Boort church and Pyramid Hill members saw construction of a permanent building start.
Builder Ed Streader rode his bike the 42km each way from Boort to work on the project.
The new church was completed in February 1926 and a hall built in 1962.
“Many children progressed through Sunday School and youth groups. A very successful after school club began in 1976, called Jolly Juniors (Jesus Our Lord Loves You) and continued until 2022,” Jean said.
“An older youth group was also part of the church outreach beginning as Christian Endeavour and subsequent name changes, with many local teenagers taking part.
“The church became known for holding an annual dinner at the Yarrawalla hall, the first in 1999.
“Excellent speakers have provided a Christian outreach message to many people who have no connections with a church with attendance being around 100. Unfortunately, COVID saw the end of these events in 2020.”
The centenary worship service will be on April 27.
