The old church, at the corner of Rosa and Queen Streets, has been sold to Stonemoor Daycare Cen- tre. The new owners take posses- sion in September. Formerly a Baptist Church, the building was purchased by the Emmanuel Pentecostal congrega- tion six or seven years ago. It has served the church well, but according to Pastor David Bee- sley, it just isn't big enough any- more to house the growing con- gregation. He says 200 pcople belong to the church, while the sanctuary seats only 125 comfort- ably. Three years ago, the church pur- chased six acres on Regional Road 8, across from Scugog Arena. A sod-turning ceremony will be held Sunday August 28 on the -property, to kick off construction which is slated to begin almost immediately after. Pastor Beesley is hoping the building will be up and closed in before winter--if that happens, the church should be ready for an offi- cial opening by Easter weekend. In the meantime, Pastor Beesley and the Board of Deacons is searching for a rental space in which to hold church meetings until the new chuch is built.

Plans call for a colonial-style exterior, complete with red Willi- amsburg brickwork, a big white steeple, and white pillars over a carport. "It'll fit in well with the Victo- rian motif of the community," the Pastor said. "We wanted some- thing that would speak of tradi- tion." Inside, the church will boast a full basement, with auditorium, kitchen, and banquet facilities that will seat up to 300 people. At that size, the banquet room will be the biggest of its kind in Guaranteed Investment Certificates 10* 2 YR. TERM - Annual Comp. Minimum Deposit $500. § RSP's 0.75% 1 YR. TERM - Annual Comp.

"It's really a gift to the commu- nity," Pastor Beesley said, ex- plaining that the facility will be available to rent. "We want 1t 10 be used to enhance the virtues of the town. I think it'll be a nice ad- dition." It will also be air-conditioned-- an important point, especially at this time of year. Mostly, though, it will be big- ger. Pastor Beesley calls his congre- gation a "young, growing, family- oriented" group, and the main rea- son for the new building is "to in- crease space for growth and to ex- pand the Ministry."
