St. Paul's United Church Scarborough
Families and Song make great community!
Homecoming Sunday
September 25, 2022
On Sunday, September 25, 2022, to honour 100 years of community worship, the church, rechristened as St. Paul’s United Church in 1925) is holding a “homecoming” worship service at 10:30 am. It’s no coincidence that that date corresponds to the Centennial week-end celebration for Scarboro/R.H.King/High School/Collegiate Institute/Academy, when former students will be coming back to celebrate and meet classmates. St. Paul’s thought that if the church was part of your growing up in the community, you might also like to visit there and“come home” for an hour for so. If you know other alumni from the high school that also attended St. Paul’s, please pass this invitation along to them - especially if you are one of those alumni!
Unlike the high school, where only an isolated archway is on hand from 100 years ago, the
building that opened on Sandown in 1922 is still there, incorporated into a larger complex
constructed in the 1950s and ‘60s. We’d like to invite anyone for whom St. Paul’s brings back
memories to join us on the 25th. We’ve sent a special invitation to members of the Farrow
family. Harvey (“Hindy”) Farrow was a staff member at the high school for about 20 years in
the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s and, along with his wife, Fran, a very active leader at the church. His
three children, Stan, Gwen and Gord, all graduated from the high school in the 1950s and ‘60s,
and are still members of the church. Stan’s three children, Cheryl, Brian and Lindsay graduated
from R. H. King in the 1980s. They’ll be “coming home” to the church on the 25th, joining our
choir for the day and contributing a few reminiscences during the morning service.
