Hello from Gander!

What a week so far. It is hard to put into words how wonderful this time has been with the team from St. Johns. I believe the impact of this week will never be fully realized by any of us. Here is something to praise God for from each day so far:

Saturday - loud and exciting worship with the Gander worship team

Sunday - beautiful and meaningful worship service with 54 in attendance plus a great time of sharing lunch on the front lawn

Monday - sunshine for the Family Fun day that was well attended.

Tuesday - Food drive and beside food collected we had $667 in donations.

Today we are going to a Seniors apartment complex to share our music and then a trip to the park for some fun.

It is hard to believe that tomorrow the team heads back home, but many relationships were made or strengthened and we look forward to continuing in His mission in both locations.

This week we are looking forward to our Worship Service on Sunday at 10:30 am so we hope to see you there! 

Take care and God bless! 

Pastor Kim
