First church in the community.

I went to Sunday school there. Edna Barton our next door neighbour used to take us, That would have been in the late 30s or early 40s.

Tom Tran, the blank space on the left hand end of Pearen United Church was a tennis court in the 1950’s.
Billy Bud
I recall a Mr. LeGrow as minister at Pearen in 50's.
Doug Hodgins
I belonged to the 209th Cub Pack in 1954 and loved it. It was sad to see such a Mt. Dennis landmark torn down.

Went to CGIT (Canadian Girls in Training) there in the 50's

Went to that church from the age of 2 or 3 until we had to join up with Chalmers Church in my late teens. Good memories!

Can remember old Mr. Pordage coming there, his hands showing he was working with the soil in the greenhouses which have long since vanished as well.

My father was the custodian there went to church 3 times on sunday.

The Pearen Church was demolished to facilitate the widening of Eglinton Ave. ...the year was 1966. When it was demolished my brother, his friends and I, were playing in the rubble. I was standing behind one of the boys and when he wound up to throw the brick I was standing behind him and got hit in the eye. I can recall going to the clinic on Guestville for a tetanus shot!
Robert Thomas
Our family went to Pearen United until three churches amalgamated... Pearen United, Chalmers United, and I believe the other was Harwood ....
I also remember the Boy Scouts used to hold an activity day once a year on the lot behind the church.

Jack Clarke Charlie
I remember old tennis courts overgrown with vegetation where the bus loop is. This is around 1960 I think.
Pat Mueller
I remember the bus loop there when the church was still there. We would go with our tricycles and wagons to the loop and the driv
Pearen was the church my family and I attended until we joined with Chalmers United


Some really old events...
