Postcard from Ebenezer

By Helen Slade, of Helensburgh Seniors Travel Club

Our May outing was a visit to the Ebenezer Historic Church. Ebenezer is a beautiful area along the banks of the Hawkesbury River. We were served the most wonderful Devonshire morning tea in the pavilion hall by the church ladies and men.

Afterwards we were treated to a history talk by the church secretary, Ted Brill, about the families who founded the church and their ongoing families. We happened to be there while a crypt was being readied by descendants of one of the pioneer families to intern the ashes of a family member. A very interesting procedure and history.

After our church visit, we had an excellent lunch at the Windsor Services Club.  Our next meeting is July 3rd at the Helensburgh Hotel.
