Hamiota United Church and Hamiota Pentecostal Church
The following excerpts were obtained from Hamiota Grains of the Century volumes 1 and 11. Spiritual faith has played an important role within the lives of the community residents. This faith continues within the community today.
(excerpt from Hamiota Grains of the
Century, Volume 1)
The settlers of this area were predominately from English, Scottish and
Irish ancestry, thus the Anglican, Presbyterian and Methodists churches
were built throughout the Municipality. The Pentecostal Church was
established in Hamiota in 1944. Those belonging to the Catholic faith
travel to either Shoal Lake or Rivers to wor5ship. A number of families
who belong to the Mennonite and Lutheran churches are worshipping in the
established church of their choice in the Municipality rather than
travel miles to their won. For those who follow the Jewish teachings,
the closest synagogue is in Winnipeg.
With a deep faith and belief in God, our pioneers were able to overcome
hardships, death and the unknown and still believe in the future. Today
we live in comfort, secure in the knowledge that medical advances have
given most a long life span but we still need that same faith and belief
in God in our everyday lives. We Thank God our forefathers were able to
build our faith upon a rock foundation.
(excerpt from Hamiota Grains of the Century, Volume 11)
The churches of the Municipality and Village continue to give guidance
to their congregations. As in the past congregations fluctuate,
increasing and decreasing over the years. Nevertheless each church is
recognized as a pillar of strength to cling to as we go about our daily
lives. Our ministers/pastors are always there to help and comfort those
in need.
