First Services - St John's Church - Lunenburg, NS - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

Marker recounts the history of the parish of St John's Anglican Church in Lunenburg, NS.

Marker is affixed to a boulder in the courtyard of the church.

Marker text reads:

Here, in the year 1753, before any
Church was built, open air Divine
Services were held and Holy Comm-
union administered in English,
French and German to the first
settlers and garrison of the Town
of Lunenburg by the Reverend Jean
Baptiste Moreau according to the
Rites of the Church of England.

Of different races but of the
Protestant Faiths, they intermar-
ied, lived and worked together
in harmony and in their descen-
dants are blended the virtues of
their varied forbears.

Erected by the Congregation of
St John's Church June, 1953
