Zion United Church Property
Sandy Cove, Sandy Cove
1856
|
In 1850 Sandy Cove received their first resident Methodist clergyman in the person of Rev. James Taylor, followed by Rev. Chesly and Rev. G.W. Tuttle. These ministers promoted the building of this church at Sandy Cove. The minister lived at Sandy Cove and held services also in Centreville and Broad Cove (Culloden). A pulpit Bible which is still in the church reads:
"Presented to M.E. Society (Methodist Episcopal) Sandy Cove, by Captain Joseph W. Bates, East Boston, May 27th, 1856."
The beautiful stained glass window, which was brought over from England, reads: "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God" "Alleleuia". This is a lovely feature of the Zion United Church. The original communion goblets are still used. The bell was not added until 1863 it came from Henry N. Hooper and Company Boston. The windows are new but they had a specialist replace the old windows with new identical windows.
