WE REMEMBER To remember the past is
to see that we are here today by grace, that we have survived as a gift. - Frederick Buechner |

The village of Mount Pleasant
recognizes Decoration Day in September. Every year our Chancel Committee
places flowers on the graves of former members and on the grave of Dan
McPherson who in 1946 willed his home and property to the church. Our first
minister, Rev. John Bryning (1830-1843), is also buried there, and a special
bouquet is placed on his grave. In November, Remembrance Day is
recognized with poppies and wreaths. The Union Jack and Canadian flags flank
our Honour Roll depicting the names of servicemen and women who served in
World War I and II from both Knox and Mount Pleasant congregations whose
names are read aloud in remembrance. Small Canadian flags with a poppy
attached are placed on the graves of those named on the Honour Roll and
buried in our village Pioneer Cemetery. A wreath is placed on the Mount
Pleasant War Service Club Memorial. |
