Pense Pastoral Charge

• Pense and Cottonwood (ca.1925)
• Pense-Drinkwater Pastoral Charge (19??–1994)

1925–ca.1958, ca.1973–1994

Pense Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925, as part of Regina Presbytery. Initially, the charge included preaching points at Pense and Cottonwood. Around 1968, Pense joined with preaching points at Drinkwater, Stoney Beach, Grand Coulee, Sherwood, and Richardson to form the new Pense - Grand Coulee Pastoral Charge. After the joint-charge was dissolved ca.1970, and preaching points Grand Coulee and Sherwood moved to Regina Wascana Pastoral Charge (until ca.1973 and 1990, respectively).

Pense Pastoral Charge was re-established ca.1973, then later joined with Drinkwater to become Pense-Drinkwater Pastoral Charge, with preaching points at St. Andrew's (Pense) and Drinkwater. In 1994, Grand Coulee and Pense-Drinkwater Pastoral Charges amalgamated, as Plainsview Pastoral Charge. The points at Pense and Drinkwater both formally closed on June 30, 1998.

St. Andrew's United Church (Pense, SK) -- closed 1998;
Drinkwater United Church (Drinkwater, SK) -- closed 1998.

Local church congregations in the United Church are organized into pastoral charges, each run by a governing body, such as a Council or Board. Charges can often include more than one local church or preaching place congregation under the leadership of a minister.
