Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
When we first started this blog, I’d often share pictures of local churches on Sundays. I don’t think I ever featured this one, and thankfully Leonard Howlett took these great shots on a trip out here (and got much better pictures than I would have!). It’s of the lovely United Church in lovely Cavendish.
We’d love to feature more local churches on here, so if you have one from your community, please send us an email and share!
Happy Mother’s Day, all! Since we’re busy celebrating, this is a quick, but pretty, church blog. Here’s Whiteway’s own picturesque St. Andrew’s United Church – another important and integral part of our new community. Enjoy!
Today’s church is the Pouch Cove Memorial United. Pouch Cove is just outside St. John’s, features lots of beaches and walking trails (really, where in Newfoundland doesn’t??) and is said to be the first to see the sun rise in North America. And non-Newfoundlanders are advised we call it ‘Pooch’ Cove – be prepared for lots of ‘unusual’ pronunciations around here if you come!
Today’s great Newfoundland church is Corner Brook’s First United. Presbyterians in the area began meeting for worship in family homes as early as 1876, and then this church was built in 1889. I got this shot on a sunny day a few years ago, and it really was lovely.
Corner Brook is of course on our island’s west coast, and is a great city with lots to offer. It’s a long drive from the cottages, but a lot of tourists who come here like to rent a car and hit the road – a good choice!
