50th anniversary in Goderich

GODERICH, Ont. – Berea-by-the-Water Lutheran Church recently celebrated 50 years as a congregation. The afternoon church service on Sunday, July 10, was attended by current and former members, as well as members from their sister church, Zion Lutheran in Dashwood. Other guests included East Regional Pastor Marvin Bublitz, several Stratford Circuit pastors, former pastors of the congregation, and many individuals who contributed to the purchasing of the church and property in December 2021.

Following the service, there was a delicious catered meal of pulled pork or beef on a bun, and a dessert of a chocolate/vanilla cake featuring a photo of the church. The family of Berea really came together to make this celebration a joyous and thankful time. God’s family at Berea knows every day how blessed they are by the Lord in numerous ways. They may be a small congregation, but they continue to make an impact on all who they meet, and welcome anyone looking for a friendly church. 

Berea-by-the-Water is a church family that supports, encourages, weeps, and celebrates together, with a message to share of Jesus and His forgiveness and unconditional love. They have been living this life and ministry for 50 years, and look forward to many more years of ministry in the future.
