We had a Soup-perb time last Sunday!

April 24, 2018 April 30, 2018

We had 14 wonderful homemade soups, many thanks to all who made the soup-perb soups and salads. There were lentil soups , vegetable soups, tomato soup, carrot soup, celery soup turkey soup, ham soup, squash soup, curry soup, and clam chowder! We enjoyed a choice of salads: Caesar, Greek, Kale and Quinoa and lots of fresh rolls.

But, most importantly there was glorious music!

We were welcomed by one of our young members singing and playing the guitar, and then we all sang along with Frank and Martin (Beatle Ballads Give & Go) to all the wonderful old Beatles songs opening with a very appropriate for the day … “Here Comes the Sun”.

A happy event on a beautiful Spring day hosted by the “Abundant Hospitality” committee. Thank you’s to all who volunteered their time and culinary expertise to put on this great event and for all our friends who came … THANK YOU!

April 17, 2018 April 19, 2018

I didn’t sleep well Saturday night. I kept waking up with the wind whistling around our house. It seemed to sweep those night time spaces bare, and even though I was cosy under blankets, it felt exposed. When I woke up Sunday morning, one of my colleagues sent a text saying he was cancelling their service, and I briefly considered doing the same – but I knew that not everyone would get a message, and I couldn’t imagine how terrible it would be to trek through ice, snow, and wind only to find the church closed. So I made the long trip to the church by transit (watching as we passed someone out for a jog), and worked on coordinating messages encouraging people to stay home safe, and to cancel different things that would have been happening.
