Service in the Park

Hi again. Last Monday, we were away on a vacation break. It was enjoyable but its always nice to be back.
I wanted to begin this week's blog with some thank you's for those that played a big role in this past weekend's "Service in the Park". If you're not familiar with what that is...we had the LaPointes, of Fredericton, hold a concert at Truro's Victoria Park - which was free to the community - where we passed out bottles of water to anyone and everyone who came into the park, and then we (Central Nova Wesleyan) closed the day by hosting a BBQ, also in the Park. It was a great day!
Over 250 people attended the service; 270 bottles of chilled water were handed out to people passing by; and over 150 people were served at the BBQ.
It was a great opportunity for our church to offer something 'free' to the community, and to connect with many people that we did not know - a special thanks to the board for supporting such an endeavour and to the church, in general, for rallying behind it by inviting friends and family who aren't a part of church life.
Those that I'm about to thank would not expect me to do this, but that's what makes it all the more important to recognize their help.
Darren/Naomi S. - Thanks for donating the 504 bottles of water
Barry/Nikki H. - Thanks for donating the specialized labels for the bottles
Marilyn/Claude R. - Thanks for setting up the BBQ
Dave H. - Thanks for getting the ice (free) and for your willingness to do 'whatever'
Gordon S. - Thanks for helping pass out the water
Shannon A. - Thanks for heading up the kids ministry
Thanks to the many other numerous volunteers who helped out, either by serving, cooking or in any other way that contributed to this outreach's success.
If somehow I've missed someone that should have been mentioned by name, I do apologize. I know that many of you gave of your time to help us connect with others. THANKS!
Next week, I'll be sharing a few thoughts on Father's Day. Stop by the church this weekend if you're looking for a place to attend church. We've got an inmate from Westmoreland Institute in Dorchester speaking at 10:30 am on Sunday.
