There have been other changes made to our church over the years as well, such as the educational building in 1962, the project 2000 building improvements, steeple renovations, fellowship hall renovations and the list goes on and on.
But, when we think about our church what do we think about the most, the church as a building, the church as people or the church and its missions? When we look at our mission, let‘s look at what our Mission statement says:
Boeuff Presbyterian Church strives to be a caring community of believers, following Christ’s Great Commission to “make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19-20) In serving the spiritual and individual needs of each other, the community, and the world, we demonstrate our belief in the Good News. Through the generous giving of our talents and resources, we become believable agents of Christ and show our gratitude for all that He has done for us.
So how do we show others our mission? What do we do in our community to show others about the Good News? In 1975, the monthly newsletter was started and was known as the “Boeuff Observer”, this was distributed to the members in attendance and to our shut-ins. The Boeuff Kitchen Band was a popular group that entertained at many community functions and nursing homes to bring humour and God Blessings to folks. We never locked the church during war time, it was quite common to see people entering the church during weekdays to pray for love ones, soldiers, and our nation. Boeuff had a bowling alley that was popular with the young people in town, giving the youth of the community some type of entertainment. In the 1950’s The Fire Hall across the street, was built for two purposes; to serve as storage for equipment and for a community gathering hall. The Young People’s Class of Boeuff Church gave two comedy plays entitled “Deacon Dubbs” and “Here Comes Charley” and gave all proceeds to the firemen. The WoC made bandages during war time to help with the war.
