The annual meeting of 1883 decided to buy an organ. Using a tuning fork to obtain the correct pitch, Miss Baikie had been leading the singing in the stone church and W. W. Dunning was the last leader in the brick church. The first organ was replaced by another about 1932. The choir reported to the annual meeting of February 1, 1960, that Senator Cairine Wilson had donated an electric organ. It was dedicated at a special service in March. The bell in the tower was given to the church in 1946. It was formerly the ships bell of the "Empress." a passenger steamship which had plied the Ottawa river for many years between Ottawa and Grenville.


The first furnace was installed in 1896.


On November 27, 1889, there was a meeting of the whole charge and it was decided to ask Presbytery to take off Navan and make Cumberland and Rockland the charge. They are saying Rockland now instead of Clarence. The first settlement was at Clarence of course but as settlers came Rockland grew and in the 1880's the Rockland-Clarence congregation began to meet in the town hall in Rockland. They later built their present brick church which was opened in 1902.


In 1902 the annual report was printed for the first time.


On June 1, 1920, following a request, permission was given to the Soldiers Memorial Committee to place a Soldiers Memorial on the church property.


The annual meeting of 1922 authorized "the session to get individual communion sets and have it on trial next communion Sunday and if not satisfactory to be returned. "


In January 1925 the session was authorized "to set a date for the calling of a meeting on church union," to consider union with the Methodist and Congregational Churches. There is no more recorded, but the minutes of the annual meeting in January 1926 commence "The annual meeting of the United Church of Cumberland." The annual meeting of 1909 has this entry, "Moved by Dr. McLaughlin and seconded by S. T. Kinsella that the congregation take steps to build a Sunday School Hall at the rear of the church. Carried. It was afterwards "decided not to go on with the building without calling another meeting of the congregation. " In 1922 it is recorded "there was to be a meeting of the Sunday School teachers and managers to consider some device to help the Sunday School in regards to rooms."


At the Annual meeting of January 26, 1953 plans for alterations to the church to provide a basement were discussed and by a motion passed, the Stewards were instructed to start a building fund. On March 16, the same year a meeting of the congregation was called to discuss a church hall. The cost of a church hall joined to the north side of the church was estimated to be $32,400. The renovating of the basement and raising the church floor would cost approximately $11,000. Considerable discussion on walls, floors, windows, doors, etc. followed. A motion was passed that "the congregation of this church go ahead with plans to construct a basement hall and that the building fund committee seek permission from Presbytery to proceed with this work and to find out what arrangement can be made to finance the construction, also that the windows in the church remain as they are." There was another meeting the next February 21, 1954 for the congregation to hear the recommendations from the building committee and it was carried unanimously that the work now proceed on the basement with changes to the choir loft as they now are. The new basement hall was dedicated on May 30, 1954. It was reported at the January 30, 1956 annual meeting that the hall was completely paid for. The choir had collected $1,017.30 for chairs and tables for the new hall.
