About Us

Flamborough Heritage Society - "The History of St. James United Church - 180 Years"
Don Woods is back and will highlight the beginnings of Methodism in Waterdown, as the start of a special weekend of Anniversary events.
With the early religious community and a combination of events a very vital church emerged, which has continued to this day. The early Methodist church on Mill Street became St James United Church after union in 1925. They moved to the present location on Parkside Drive in 1957, though the sanctuary was not completed until 1961.
Don, through his expertise and humour will take us through the decades with the help of a few of the 'old-timers'.
Admission - FREE

Watch for St. James youth, their float and our new banner at the Waterdown Santa Claus parade.
Thanks for the update. Please count me and the girls in for Saturday April 26th starting at 1:00. Isabella and Vanessa will be doing the children's activities. You can also count Mark in but as of right now I am unsure if he will still be working. I'm assuming we can all last until the supper (that is the plan but I never know about the girls).
I hope to be able to come to Waterdown on Sunday morning, but do not reserve tickets for me for all the activities that weekend. If I make it there that day I will stay for lunch.
I would like to attend on the Friday night only. Thanks a lot.
Ian, Lisa, Evan and Fraser MacRae will be attending the St. JamesAnniversary celebration on April 26/27.
This is to advise you that both Gail & I will be attending most of the festivities for the anniversary. We will be there for the meals. We're not sure about our girls but will advise you. Thanks Dave
