Comments
The present Kennon Memorial Uniting Church, Sassafras, was opened on 30/1/1937 by the Moderator the Right Rev A Irving Davidson, MA. The new church building was funded by donations from Mr & Mrs Thomas Kennon. It replaced the Log Cabin Presbyterian Church which was erected in 1925 as a memorial to G H Derry, the first chairman of the recreation reserve. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 27/3/2021.
