History
June 2019 - January 4, 2009
- The building has reached the end of its life. Today was the last service at 2570 Windsor St (at Willow) Halifax. The congregation's meetings moved to Lilian Piercey Concert Hall at the Maritime Conservatory of Music
- Dan Conlin took some photos on this day; they are on line here. Dan writes: I selected exterior views that have the welcoming rainbow on the sign and threw in a couple of the march to the new location at Chebucto School.
- February, 2011
- SPIRITPlace is proposed as a re-use for the lot: a re-sized church plus a 65-unit LGBT-friendly housing development. See the December, 2010 and March, 2011 WayvesMagazine articles. The plan was eventually scuttled by the church's Willow Street neighbours with concerns about traffic, shading etc.

- The building got the wrecking ball
