RCA General Synod 2017

had a good trip on Thursday

Al is sitting a table close to me

opening worship, served communion so I sat at the first row

I sent lots of pictures to Olga and Stephen because quite a few of their friends are here

even a lady that sat at Olga's table last year

I am at table 12

Noisy River Bruce trail

some spots were a bit wet

we started with some roads

It was warm in the sun

very cool water 

Jack in the Pulpit

after hiking 9km we moved the car and did 6 more

starting at the Noisy River going south

I have hiked here before with Olga in 2003

played in the river

nice far views

the Trillium's are past prime

cool tree

back at at Lavender our starting point

Celebrating Mohammad & Amal

The 1 year celebration was at Mariska and Jerry's place

every kid would love to grow up on a place like this

a nice big gravel-pit 

Loay seems to love it too

a bouncy castle for the (big) kids

Mohammad has made quite a few friends

and gained a Canadian Family

and so has Amal

a cool evening Owen still loves the water

for most a camp fire made more sense

Profession of Faith

11 young people

2 were baptized

handing out of the certificates 

time for the kids

then off to Sunday School

After church a group picture

and lunch

that was a nice get together

goofy girls

very yummy food and lots of it

Buck & Doe

went to a Buck & Doe last Friday 45min drive

for Henry and Sam

Saturday another one but closer to home

something to do for all ages

a shed where a combine seems small

both times it was fun

lots of prizes to be won

Eric made the "watering hole"

where did the chicken poop?

Anja's square

Rose-breasted Grosbeak
