All are welcome to attend this Garage (And MORE) Sale to raise funds to repair and reinstall the 104 year old, 340 pound church bell.
The bell was installed on the roof of the original St. Matthew’s Church in 1913 and then moved when the new church was built, to the new location at 2010 Guilford Street. The bell was removed in 2011 to allow the roof to be repaired and was not mounted again due to budget restraints. It has been languishing in the church basement storage since, but we are determined to make this bit of St. Matthew’s and Abbotsford history ring out again.
