Missions Fair Wraps Up

The Missions Fair ended today with a very good turnout, better weather, and a moving Sermon by Marnie, Student at Alberta Bible College.

Go ye therefore and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son & Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you alway even unto the end of the world.

Amen. Matthew 28: 19,20

The sermon in a nutshell was have no other gods before me, and love your neighbour as yourself.

There was good singing, and 2 more missions were read about.

The day ended with a potluck beginning at about 1pm. in the church basement.

The polish cake, cookies and other foods were all there as well as this very special cake which Crystal Kaufman made in honour of the Missions. It was beautiful--using our new theme Embark--(a trip throughout God's Kingdom)

Go ye therefore...

Here is one of the posters hung up around the church.

These were made and hung up to be there for the Missions Fair.

I enter the photos and sometimes they give me a chance to crop and sometimes they dont, and this one did not give an opportunity.

Missions Fair in progress

Here is some of the decor at the ladies luncheon along with 3 cakes. Other food was on a different table.

Today Rhoda talked to us about Peru, and we saw many pictures in 2 albums as well as large pictures.

WE also heard from Sandra Osborne, who in is involved in Alberta Bible College and on board of Directors of Graceland, Poland.

Polish Christmas Cookies

We are having a Missions Fair this weekend at church;

large sunflowers

The day before I came home from Victoria which would be September 22, there was a bad wind here. It blew over the large sunflowers, but these 2 are propped up.

See Jake standing between the 2 sunflowers. He is about six feet tall. I think these sunflowers would be about 9 feet in height. They are the only ones I actually planted; all the rest were volunteers.

Sunflower for Sarah

Happy Thanksgiving, Sarah

Small Poster

Here is one of the small posters I made today to hang on the church walls along with our display.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

O Give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious:
for his mercy endureth forever.
Psalm 136 :1

I would really like to post more on here but time has been extremely short right now with having so much to do, a new program at work--that will be ongoing time required I think!
Vegetables to give out and store in the basement, we managed to move them down today, also the glad bulbs. Judy and Jake did this.

Victoria, BC

Holly & Judy at Red Robin in Victoria--Lynne took us here.

Unique New and Used store

Saw this wonderful building on our way back from BC, it one of few things we stopped to photograph, the fence was also covered entirely in hub caps. WE did not realize it was a new and used until I saw the photo after it was printed--believe me--we would have gone inside!
