Saint Michaels Anglican church is now in the hands of the Canadian Mental Health association.

The Church will remain with its historic patina on the outside but is to be renovated in the interior to suit the aims of the association.

The congregation is moving to an ancillary social hall building next door and will continue with worship and fellowship activities.

There is to be a pancake supper on February 17th from 5-7 PM at the Trinity United Church, at the corner of Quilchena and Chapman in Merritt BC.
The supper is for shore Tuesday and is 6 dollars for adults and four dollars for kids under 9 years of age.
Trinity United Church is a member of the United Church of Canada and is a mixture of Methodists, Congregationalists and Presbyterians.
The Building in Merritt is a little over a hundred years old and represents a big portion of European contact here in the BC Central interior.
The work was struck by the Father of Merritt a man named Voght, in in recent times has produced public figures such as Bob Baird former Mayor and councillor, Richie Gage former councillor and School board member, as well as the local coroner.
The attitude of thrift and stewardship of resources here in Merritt comes in part from the activities of that congregation.

St Micheal’s Anglican Church in Merritt, I grew up just down the block from this church.

When the Department of National Defence had a mortar platoon support company here  a paster from this church became the CO the only ordained Minister I ever heard of that commanded an infantry unit. The armouries is now used as an elks hall and him Nelson Atkinson must have passed on by now I  contact him some years ago in the Kiwanis organization. and in my second term in the Rocky Mountain Rangers in Kamloops he was talked about fondly by soldiers as a chaplain.

Thats getting to be a while ago and the world has moved on . Any way thanks to you Canon Atkinson for your generation and what you left behind.PP
