  "The story of Union Congregational Church has its beginning in the days when Richmond Hill was a peaceful country village, over sixty years before the "atomic age." The records tell us that "on the evening of Monday, September 29, 1884, a few ladies and gentlemen met at the house of Mr. Amos Aller to consider the advisability of providing Richmond Hill with some kind of religious services together with a Sunday School which might be, as near as possible, non-sectarian in character. It had long been felt to be the one thing needful in this otherwise charming place."
