3 Reference Number: PC/108 Title: Bayfield-Little Shemogue Pastoral Charge fonds Dates: Extent: 1.82 m of textual records and 3 photographs Administrative History: A pastoral charge is a grouping of churches termed "preaching points" -- each with separate names and governing boards or sessions. These churches are served by one minister. The pastoral charge title usually reflects the breadth of the geographic area encompassing the charge. The Bayfield-Little Shemogue Pastoral Charge is located on the eastern end of Westmorland County, New Brunswick. Preaching points include Bayfield (Wesley), Murray Corner (First), and Cape Tormentine (Trinity). Historic locations included, Little Shemogue, Cape Spear, Oulton's Corner, Cadman s Corner, Chapman's Corner, and Upper Cape. The church at Shemogue appears to have closed as a preaching place in When the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational churches united to form the United Church of Canada in 1925, First Church, Zion Church, Port Elgin, and Tidnish became United Churches under two pastoral charges -- Bayfield and Little Shemogue. In June 1961 the two charges were united to form Bayfield-Little Shemogue Pastoral Charge consisting of the preaching points of Murray Corner, First Church, Bayfield, and Cape Tormentine. The churches in Upper Cape, Cape Spear, Cadman s Corner, Chapman s Corner, and Oulton s Corner were closed around this time.

11 Reference Number: PC/108/3 Title: Bayfield Presbyterian Pastoral Charge Dates: Extent: 7 cm of textual records Administrative History: The earliest Convenanter congregation in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia was established before Construction may have started on a church building as early as 1829 and the first communion service was held on July 3, A Reformed Presbyterian congregation was organized by the Irish Synod in Shemogue in In the spring of 1830, construction began on a church building but the building was abandoned due to difficulties in obtaining a title to the property. A new building was started nearby in Murray Corner and the church was dedicated in 1831 by Rev. Alexander Clark. In the early 1870s, it was decided to divide the district into two congregations. Consequently, a church was built at Chapman s Corner in 1870 and a new church built at Murray Corner in In 1876, the minister of the Reformed Presbyterian Congregation in Shemogue along with 62 other people successfully petitioned the Presbytery of Wallace of The Presbyterian Church in Canada to allow them to be organized as the Congregation of Shemogue and Port Elgin of The Presbyterian Church in Canada. Chapman s Corner remained a Reformed Presbyterian congregation but became a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Canada in After this, a church was erected at Oulton s Corner and became known as Zion Presbyterian. The church at Murray Corner was destroyed by fire in the early 1920s and work commenced on a new building in The new church, which was now known as First Church, was dedicated on August 19, In 1923, Rev. Leard, the minister of the Bayfield Methodist Circuit, suggested that he no longer serve Cadman s Corner Methodist Church so the Little Shemogue Session agreed to take on the Cadman Corner congregation and evening services were held there. When the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational churches united to form the United Church of Canada in 1925, First Church, Zion Church, Port Elgin, and Tidnish came into The United Church of Canada.
