Smithville Presbyterian Church ~ Doors Open

Presbyterians in Smithville, Ontario, proudly opened their doors this weekend. Church organist and archivist, Marlene Penman, was on hand to welcome visitors.

Sunday services are accompanied on an authentic 119 year old Lye Pipe Organ which has been restored and faithfully maintained by three generations of the Denton family.

The horse-drawn carriage was generously provided by Keith Melick of Canborough, Ontario.
