Little Plume E.M. Church History

Prior to construction of The Little Plume Church, services were held in both the local school and resident's homes. The Little Plume Church was built 22km South of Dunmore, Alberta, on February 24, 1919, but burnt down in the spring of 1921. By late summer, the community had rebuilt their humble church, with a dedication on August 7, 1921.

The namesake of Little Plume, Peigan Chief Little Plume, was born in Brocket in 1889 and served overseas in WWI with the 192nd battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force. He spent most of his life in Brocket and died in 1971.

Like the sermons shared inside its walls, the story of Little Plume Church is one of constant improvement. In January 1955, Little Plume Church was wired for electricity for the cost of $490. By 1957, it was determined the church needed further upgrading, so the building was placed onto a newly constructed basement; a 10-foot addition was built, Sunday School rooms were added, and a furnace was installed. A restoration of the cemetery occurred in 1974 - 1975 with grant funding from the Provincial Government.

Lightning struck the church on June 24, 1975, piercing a large hole in the roof and tearing siding off. The building was repaired and stuccoed in the spring of 1976. In the years following, Little Plume Church experienced additional upgrades such as a natural gas installation in 1977 and an expansion to the building's front in March 1979, including an entrance, office, nursery, and washrooms, with a kitchen and fellowship hall in the basement. The estimated cost for this upgrade was $86,500. A dedication of the expansion was held on June 22, 1980.

By the year 2000, like so many other country churches, the Little Plume Church faced the possibility of closing its doors but diligently remains open, providing church services to a congregation of about 25 people.

On August 11, 2019, the Little Plume Church celebrated its' 100th anniversary with an extended Sunday Service, followed by a community lunch.

This church is still a centerpiece for the community, holding Sunday services every week at 11:00 am and hosting other community events such as musical recitals and polling stations.
