Celebration of the restoration of the Plenty Historic Church 2021
A celebration jointly organized by Plenty Historical Society and the Diamond Valley Uniting Church was held Saturday 15th May 2021 in the Plenty Hall and the Historic Church and attended by over 50 guests.
The celebration began at 2pm with a Welcome and Acknowledgement of Country followed by a brief overview of the history of the Plenty Methodist/Uniting Church including the relocation and final restoration to the now Plenty Historic Church.
A blessing and ribbon cutting ceremony followed at the Church.
At the conclusion of these formalities guests were invited into the church to see the interior and displays of the church history followed by an afternoon tea in the Hall.
We will endeavour to upload some videos of the event shortly.
