Final Time at Shelter House: May 27/14

Well, it turned out that this wasn't our last turn, after all. Here's a pic from June 24/14. Note that we really missed Doug Sr.!

At some point in the mid 80's Dorion Bible Camp began taking monthly turns cooking for Shelter House. After a while, we began to supplement our team with people from our church (Northwood Park Church of Christ). Eventually, (c. 1989) we took over DBC's turn. Even though our congregation ceased operations in the Fall of 2012, we continued with our monthly stint until June 2014! At that point we felt we needed to retire.

So at the annual Volunteer Appreciation Supper we were presented this picture in honour of our 25 years of service there.

Richard's Last Sunday Speaking: July 29/12

.

Pam & Dave Harris were youth group members long ago & were married in our building.
They were in town for a wedding & saw on Facebook that I was speaking for my last time, and decided to come hear me!

In July I sang a song for the congregation each week.
This week I sang "Be Not Afraid".
