HISTORICAL NOTE from LaVerne Erickson:
The facility has a rich brief history. The property on which it sits once belonged to the Rosebud Fellowship. It was given to the church when the
former church site had to be abandoned due to the construction of a new bridge across the Rosebud River.
Dale Krabsen was the main facility Designer, Roger Peters was the Architect, and Bill Baldwin and Don Thiessen
of Bildon Construction the Contractors who coordinated employee and volunteer labour. Don Glazebrooke
did much of the interior finish work, Winston Sproule and Harry Christensen the kitchen cabinetry.

As a point of interest, all of the doors in the sanctuary were from Jimmy Jack, an ardent supporter of
the Rosebud Theatre. So many doors were donated that Bill Baldwin turned many of them into tables and doors
for the Mercantile dining room.

The site of the sanctuary is also the site of the first 1883 log pioneer church (Anglican) in the community. However before that, the log building (one of many hand hewn by the Wisharts) was the home Dan Vigar and operated as a post office for several years.
A commemorative "ebenezer" with a brass plaque is situated on the east of the property.
This stone used to be a buffalo rubbing stone.
