| | In the recently located Register of Services, it is recorded that a service - Epiphany 1 - was held on the 12th January 1930 at 3.00 pm; regrettably the number of worshippers was not recorded but the collection amounted to one pound, ten shillings and threepence. | | | And so it was in the Village of Hall, just on the boundary of the Capital Territory, that people gathered together in the 1930s to worship in the local hall, known as Kinleyside's (late in 1938 Rochford's) Hall in the main street of the village. | | | As these small centres grew, even modestly, there came local pressure for the building of a Church as a centre of worship, rather than the local hall or the parlour of one of the more affluent settlers. |
