The bulletin for today's service will be delayed slightly ... today our Service was co-lead by Rev. Nancy Wetslaar who is currently in Stratford Ontario at Centennial United Church (which is my home congregation). Nancy served her from 1979 to 1981 before returning to Ontario.
We celebrated the baptism of two little pilgrims, and Nancy shared the reflection. It was a grand service - thanks to Nancy for coming and being part of the day, and continuing to be a part of our journey ...
Then tonight our Community celebrated Mothers' Day in fine fashion. A local caterer put on a great banquet spread, and is commited to donating the proceeds to our Rebuilding efforts. Heather pulled together a fabulous (and delicious) meal, and a couple hundred people gathered in the local Conference Centre.
It was a great evening - a nice way to remember and celebrate our mom's, and a nice way to celebrate the gift of community that becomes so important when we face struggles and traumas like a fire !!
Thanks Heather for all your effort and all your work. Thanks to your staff, and to the many businesses in our community who donated door prizes and other items. It was a wonderful evening ...
