b"The Change Islands United Church opened in 1896. Since then, congregations have worshipped, gotten married, been baptized, and said goodbye to loved ones there. There are some buried in the church's cemetery. Sadly, the Church held its very last service on Sunday, August 20. Netta Bown was a member of the congregation and church board for years. She was also married in the church."
