The link for this week's live-streamed service is here.
This week began with food -- the Fall Sunshine Lunch. Joan and her team put on a bang up meal. I hear there was beef on the menu as well as pudding. Word must have spread in advance of the feast because there was a bigger turnout than usual.
The week ended with more food, as the congregation held a potluck lunch after service on Sunday.
We often have a "welcome back" event in September following the summer holidays, but that timing didn't work this year. So Sunday's lunch wasour "welcome back" or "welcome in" occasion for this term.
We had about 50 hungry people filling their plates.
I took this picture to show how much food was left over after everyone had eaten their fill.
This was also an opportunity for Rev. Irwin and Diane to share with the congregation some highlights from their recent trip to South Africa. They shared wonderful pictures of the scenery, the animals, and the buildings. The trip also allowed Diane to reconnect with her birthplace.
Thank you, Irwin and Diane, for bringing your special moments to the congregation. We're glad you had a good time and we are really glad you are back with us.
We certainly do a lot of eating but this also means lots of good fellowship where we can share one another's ups and downs, joys and sorrows. We get to know one another a little more and know that someone cares, really making us a church family that eats together as well as prays together.
