Beeld “De Scheepsjoagers” in 1987 geplaatst aan de Feiko Clockstraat
(schuin tegenover bakker Brans langs het diep)

Deze wijken deden dienst als afvoerkanaal voor de turf- en landbouwproducten,
de aanvoer van allerlei andere producten en de regeling van de waterhuishouding. Door de vele bruggen en bebouwing stond er te weinig wind om onder zeil te varen. Daarom werden scheepsjagers ingeschakeld om de schepen en pramen handmatig voort te trekken. Het bronzen beeld ‘De Scheepsjoagers’ van Hans Mes staat sinds 1987 in Oude Pekela, als herinnering aan de mannen, vrouwen en kinderen die dit zware werk deden.

Het beeld refereert aan de periode waarin dit tot het dagelijkse straatbeeld behoorde.
Mannen, vrouwen, maar ook kinderen trokken vroeger de schepen, pramen voort.
Zij liepen in een zeel over het jaagpad.
Dit zeel was met touwen aan het schip of de praam verbonden.
De wat rijkere schippers konden dit bijzonder zware werk overlaten aan een paard.

Het beeld is in brons uitgevoerd in de afmetingen:
hoogte 1.80 m
breedte 1.20 m
lengte 1.50 m

Het beeld is vervaardigd door de Groninger kunstenaar/beeld houwer Hans Mes
en werd op 12 september 1987 geplaatst.

De oude leden overlijden en de jeugd blijft weg. De ontkerkelijking is duidelijk zichtbaar in de vrije evangelische kerk in Oude Pekela. Het kerkbestuur ziet daarom geen andere weg: de kerk is te koop gezet en de gemeenschap wordt opgeheven.

In 2018 is de kerk te koop gezet en de gemeente is op 31 maart 2019 opgeheven.
In 2020 Kerk heeft woonbestemming en staat te koop.

De gemeente is ontstaan uit het in 1877 opgerichte Genootschap tot Verbreiding der Waarheid. De gemeente is geïnstitueerd door ds. A. Mooij uit Winschoten op zondag 22 sept. 1889. In 1893 vond aansluiting plaats bij de bond van vrije evangelische gemeenten in Nederland. Eerste voorganger van de gemeente was ds. P. Douma uit Oude-Leije. Gedurende 11 jaar heeft hij de gemeente met de meeste toewijding gediend. In 1900 vertrok hij naar Nijmegen. Opvolger van deze eerste voorganger was ds. H. Stavinga.
Hij heeft van 1901-1912 in Oude Pekela gestaan, om dan naar Bergen te vertrekken.
Van de latere voorgangers willen we slechts vermelden ds. M. van der Vlis, thans te Goes en ds. D.W. Veldkamp, thans te Leeuwarden, die beiden hun beste krachten tot opbouw van de gemeente hebben gegeven. Voorganger in 1939 is ds. T.H. Penninga, die, gekomen van Breskens, zich op 20 november 1938 aan de gemeente Oude Pekela verbond.
Op 5 maart 1952 wordt het gerestaureerde kerkgebouw van de vrije evangelische gemeente weer in gebruik genomen. Het is een kerk in een kerk geworden, want de muren van het oude gebouw zijn blijven staan. Nog kan worden gemeld, dat van de gemeente de volgende verenigingen uitgaan: zondagsschool, jongelingsvereniging, grote en kleine meisjesvereniging, terwijl de gemeente een eigen zangkoor bezit.
De gemeente bestaat in 1949 60 jaar.
