Teen Challenge: Oct. 26/08

.

Robby Ahuja and his team from Teen Challenge Thunder Bay were our special guest speakers this past Sunday. Robby told us about the program and he, Brian and Dwayne told us about God's work in their lives, especially in connection with overcoming addictions.

I chose this sweater to wear not knowing that
Robby was going to give me a matching hat (and tshirt).

MEMO Cuba Dinner: Oct. 17/08

.

Several of us attended the Dinner in support of MEMO Cuba (Medical Equipment Modernization Opportunity), associated with the Evangelical Free Church, which sends perfectly good (but non-digital) equipment discarded in Thunder Bay to rural hospitals in Cuba. (Then team members travel there and ensure that it is installed and that the personnel are trained.)

The labour and equipment are donated, but each crate costs $9,000.00 to ship.




Here are a few pictures from the crate-loading that took place the next day:

Dr. Harvey tests out the equipment.

Every possible space is used in the crate.

Open House at Richards: Sept. 21/08

.

Everyone was invited to stop by after the service. We pooled our lunches together and (as often happens) had twelve basketsful left over (or so).

Some of us played Progressive Whist (?). Bill won.

Guest Speaker: Gary Cooper of MEMO

.

Medical Equipment Modernization Opportunity sends Cuban hospitals equipment that is perfectly useful but discarded from Thunder Bay hospitals. The equipment may be only five years old, but analog, and therefore incompatible with the systems at our new hospital.

On September 21/08 Gary Cooper spoke to our congregation about their work.
