Overview
The Mercury newspaper reported on the 24th July 1899:
A concert and coffee soiree was held in the local church on Tuesday night, 18th inst., as an opening of the church. The church was crowded. Much thanks are due to Mr. F. Parker for his diligent labours in organising the church here. The Rev. Mr. Ebery was expected to be in attendance, but sent a telegraph apologising for his absence through being indisposed. Mr. W. McDougall filled the position of chairman in a satisfactory manner.
The Huon Times reported on the 4th March 1919:
The new church at Leprena will soon be under way now, as the land for same has been taken up and the timber for the building is nearly ready .
