Elmslie Memorial United Church has had 19 pastors in charge of its church on Harbour Drive, George Town. Starting with the Rev. James Elmslie (the church is named after him) from 1846-1863 right up to the present Pastor, Dr. Dave Hazle who took the charge over in 2007, the present building has stood for 90 years.

The celebrations started off last Saturday (1) with a sumptuous banquet at the Cayman Prep and High School Assembly Hall – the school belongs to the United Church.

The food was catered for by Welly’s and there was a huge 90 birthday cake without the candles because of “fire risks” and Joan Wilson and Selma Eden were given the honour of cutting the cake.

There were many tributes paid to people who had served the church in various ways and some wonderful dancing by the Elmslie Youth Dancers in gold costumes.
