St. John’s United Church Installs Commemorative Cemetery Gate

LUSELAND — Luseland St. John’s United Church has completed the installation of a new cemetery gate, marking a special tribute to the centennial of both the church and the United Church of Canada.

The project was funded through donations collected during the church’s centennial celebration in June. The gate, described as a “beautiful work,” was designed and crafted by Trevor and Travis Kasas, who also straightened and reinforced the existing gate while constructing the new additions.

Volunteers played a key role in the installation. Brad Schlosser used a skid steer to install screw piles, Travis Kennedy contributed with his picker truck to position the sign, and Bill Holton assisted with the installation.

The completed gate will serve as a lasting landmark, honouring the church’s history and community for generations to come.
