Correction: Borden United Church will be closing as of June 30, but will not be disbanding until the end of the year.

Due to the cold weather on Feb. 7, church services were not held in Borden for Riverbend Fellowship or United congregations, but hopefully the weather will improve for services for the rest of February. St. John’s Anglican Church is not holding services until further notice.

A presentation was made by Peter Thiessen, on behalf of the Borden Volunteer Fire Department, to Heather Pidwerbesky, manager of Borden Care Home, Feb. 5. The $1,500 donation will purchase a smart TV with NetFlix and YouTube. The funds came from a fundraiser the fire department held in the fall of 2019.
