Details: GRETA. Services were begun in this coal-mining township early in 1888. The late Rev. James Benvie, West Maitland, conducted the first service, and the Rev. James Lamont, then of East Maitland, the second. Then the Home Mission Committee sent the Rev. J. W. Terras, and he was inducted as the first minister in February, 1889. The charge was small, hemmed in on the one side by West Maitland, and on the other by Singleton, but the people were enthusiastic. They were mostly young people, fresh from the West of Scotland
