Directions: About 40 minutes
North of Vernon
Travelling north on highway 97A on
the way to Salmon Arm or Sicamous, about 35 minutes north of Vernon,
you will come to a junction in the road; take the road that goes to
Sicamous. Driving on this windy road for less than 5 minutes, you
will drive pass a fertilizer/animal feed loading plant on the
right hand side. Very shortly you will cross a set of railroad
tracks after which you take the first right; this is 4th
Avenue. Now you drive down a couple of blocks, turning left onto
Carlin Street; very shortly you will turn right onto 3rd
Avenue where you will see the two attached portables that
serve as our hall and church.
