100 Years at CPC

We had our 100th Anniversary at our church, Toronto Chinese Presbyterian Church, this past weekend. To celebrate we had a special Saturday service in the afternoon followed by a dinner in the evening. We also had a combined service (English/Cantonese) that was similar to Saturday's on Sunday for those who didn't make it that time.

Our church was started back in 1910 to cater to Chinese immigrants who were new to the city. The did outreach to those people too. We weren't always at our current location on Beverley Street. This building was built in 1960. We used to be located on University Avenue when we first started. Our first pastor was Reverend Ma Wou (I believe). Currently our pastors are Tom Eng (English service) and Joseph Kan (Cantonese service).

I've been attending CPC since 1986. It's been a great experience over the years. I've met a lot of wonderful friends. I have to admit many of them have moved away. But, I still see some of them on a semi-regular basis. Especially the close ones.

Here's to another great 100 years!
