Strathcona Presbyterian Church and Mill Woods Presbyterian Church are amalgamating congregations.  The Strathcona building will be sold and the new amalgamated congregation will worship in the Mill Woods church building. A new name has not been decided yet for the amalgamated congregation.

On September 7th, two services were held to mark this transition.  At 4:00 pm there was a service at Strathcona Presbyterian Church (8116-105 Street) to close the building and to remember the ministry at that location.  At 7:00 pm there was a service at Mill Woods Presbyterian Church (6607-31 Avenue) to mark the amalgamation and recognize the continuing ministry of the Rev. Jean Bryden as she assumes pastoral leadership of the new amalgamation congregation.
