Welcome to the "Heart of the 1000 Islands"
Bienvenue au "coeur des 1000 îles"

The tradition of worship in Half Moon Bay began in 1887. 
 People came from neighbouring islands and from Gananoque to meet for a Vesper Service early on Sunday evening during July and August. 
 Situated on Bostwick Island in the Admiralty Group, the place is a natural bay of carved rock, compliments of the retreating glaciers. 
David Wallace, from Amesbury Massachusetts designated this land in his will "always for a place for the Worship of God and for no other purpose".
