Wesley Methodist Church in Hamilton will be held at the church tomorrow, beginning at 4 p.m.. Various dignitaries are expected to attend.

Recently, close to 200 people attended a farewell dinner for Rev. Hagerman and his wife Eloise. The couple, who have served the church for just over 12 years, will be taking up a new post in their native Canada on November 1.

Among those paying tribute to Rev. Hagerman's ministry and outreach community work were officials of the church, members of the congregation, former MP Mr.

Austin Thomas, and a young woman who, thanks to Rev. Hagerman's persistence and the support of the church, had overcome her severe addiction to drugs.

Numerous gifts were presented to the departing couple including a commissioned water colour of Wesley Church by local artist Miss Mary Zuill.

Rev. Hagerman was a founder member of the Wesley Orchestra, which is led by Major Kenneth Dill, and Mrs. Hagerman was the church secretary as well as an active worker in many other departments.

In addition to his ministry at Wesley, Rev. Hagerman was a past chairman of the Bermuda Ministerial Association, and an active member of the Christian Drug Rehabilitation Programme, which is establishing up a residence for female drug addicts.
