==History==
[[Assemblee Francaise de Rosemount, Montreal, QC|Assemblee Francaise Assemblée Française de RosemountRosemont]], MontrealMontréal, Southcentral [[Quebec|Québec]], [[Canada]] was a French open brethren assembly founded ca. 1954 in 1940 as Salle Evangelique Gospel Hall that merged with , meeting at [[Rosemount Bible Church, Montreal, QC|Ebenezer Gospel ChapelHall]] . Ebenezer Gospel Hall in the Rosemount section of the city, was the scene of the very first French assembly in 1963Montréal. The assembly, but may which had its beginnings as far back as 1938, officially dates from 1940. Noah Gratton, associated with John Spreeman in the beginnings of the work at Girardville, was principally responsible for this work. Meetings continued to be held at the Ebenezer Gospel Hall throughout the fifties, sixties and into the seventies. Ebenezer would eventually change its name to Rosemount Bible Church in the early nineties. The French assembly, which at one point in time appears to have met separately until 1974on Masson Street in the city, was last listed in the pages of ''News of Quebec'' in 1972. By 1946, it numbered two dozen members and boasted a promising future. A half dozen years later, the work was carrying on encouragingly, Noah Gratton having been joined by Albert Grainger, both spending much of their time in the area. Mr. Gratton passed away in 1962. Four years later, the assembly continued to be a harbour for Christians coming from a distance who desired to gather “in a like manner”. It was called “Salle Évangélique.” By 1968, it had taken the name Assemblée Française de Rosemont. In 1970, Rolland Labonté, one of the assembly’s earliest members, who had served as correspondent for many years, passed away. Not long after, the assembly disbanded with some going to English and others to French efforts. For over thirty years Montréal’s first French-speaking assembly had served as a beacon and a testimony to the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
