History

Oxbow Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925, part of Estevan Presbytery and containing appointments at Oxbow and Palestine. Additional preaching points later included Arthur (by 1940) and Boscurvis (ca.1951). Around 1957, Oxbow Pastoral Charge and Glen Ewen Pastoral Charge amalgamated to form the new Oxbow-Glen Ewen Pastoral Charge, with points including St. Paul's United Church, in Oxbow, and St. Angus United Church, in Glen Ewen, as well as Arthur, Boscurvis, Calvin, Hope and Palestine. By 1969, only Oxbow and Glen Ewen were still listed. On June 30, 2007, the church at Glen Ewen (St. Angus) was officially closed.
