History

Bradwell Pastoral Charge was formed as United Church charge in 1925, part of Saskatoon Presbytery and containing appointments at Bradwell and Clavet. By 1932, the Blucher preaching point had been added but, by 1962, the charge only consisted of Bradwell, Clavet and Floral. Between 1964 and 1966, no congregations beyond Bradwell were listed in the charge. Around 1967, Clavet and Allan were added back in, then later Lost River (moving from Young-Zelma Pastoral Charge, ca.1969). Clavet appears to have closed by the early 1970s, followed by Allan, around 1976.

Clavet officially re-opened, as a separate Pastoral Charge, on May 15, 1982, while Bradwell Pastoral Charge continued on, with congregations at Lost River and Bradwell (Knox United Church). Lost River officially closed June 25, 1989.
