Kamloops United Church celebrates with Festival on Fourth
KAMLOOPS — It was a celebration a decade in the making. On Saturday, the Kamloops Untied Church held a ‘Festival on Fourth’, to celebrate some important milestones for the congregation.
On Saturday, St. Paul Street was closed down so the church could celebrate the opening of redeveloped property at the corner of 4th and St. Paul. The new complex was built to help address some of the needs the congregation saw in the downtown core. The building is home to multi-purpose meeting space, the KUC thrift store, a community kitchen, the United Church Daycare, as well as 56 units of affordable housing.
According to Ron Rutledge, all of this is part of the United Church’s mandate.
