            Tweedsmuir Presbyterian 186th

            On Sunday, May 7, 2023, the Tweedsmuir Memorial Presbyterian Church observed its 186th anniversary. For us here at the Orangeville Legion, it was an even more special day. The special guest speaker had extended a personal invitation to the members of Branch 233 to join him at this event. That special guest speaker was none other than Reverend Harvey Self. Harvey is a veteran and was a long time member of our branch as well as being our branch padre. Reverend Self was also the pastor for Tweedsmuir Memorial Presbyterian Church for quite some time. After the morning service, the church held a pancake luncheon which we thoroughly enjoyed. This gave us all the opportunity to visit with Reverend Self and get reacquainted. 

            It sure was great to see Harvey again.

            After attending the 186th anniversary celebration/church service at the Tweedsmuir Presbyterian church, our President, Comrade Barry Kimber had the great pleasure of presenting Comrade Greig Laing (Branch piper) with his Branch Service Medal. Congratulations go out to Greig on receiving this medal and as well the thanks for the many years of support he has provided to our branch. (P.S. Greig is the taller one).
