Thornhill United Church Marks 97th Anniversary Celebrating its 97th anniversary at the present site, the United Church at Thornhill will hold spee- ial services at 11 am. and 7 pm. on Sunday, October ;6. Preacher in the morning will be Rev. M. R. Jenkinson, B.A., B.D., of .Lawrence Park Community Church and in the evening Dr. D. E. Bradford, B.A., B.D., of Law- rence Park Community Church, will preach. Special music will feature both services. The roots of the congregation go back to 1803, when a Methodist circuit rider held services at Ben- jamin Hoshel’s farm on lot 10 on the second concession of Mark- ham, a mile and a quarter east of Langstaff. In 1805 the congrega- tion formed part of the Yonge Street circuit, which extended from York (Toronto) to Lake Simcoe. In 1805 a frame school- house and church was built on lot 34, first concession of Vaughan and this property was used until 1838 when a church was built on land deeded by Mrs. Elizabeth Ly- on on lot 33, first concession of Markham. A cemetery, in which a few graves are still identifiable, was also established. With Thom- as Harris as superintendent, the first Sunday School'was organized in 1839. In 1846 a British Wesleyan Methodist Church was opened in Vaughan tovi/nship and in 1847 the Canadian and British Wesleyan Methodist churches united. The Vaughan church was closed and, in 1850, sold to the Presby- terian Church, which still uses it in Thornhill. In 1852 the present United Church building was moved to its present site. It was enlarged by galleries on both sides and at the north end and, in appearance, was quite unlike the present building. The choir was supported by a mel- odeon, which is still in the pos- session of the church. Also assist- ing in worship were a flute and a bass viol. Moved in 1852 At the south end was a tall box pulpit. The pews, which were rented, were boxed in and each one was closed by a door.
