  • Family Sunday – Feb 7, 2010

    Family Sunday was another successful, fun day for our church family.  A delicious potluck dinner was topped off with Brave’s birthday cake.

    Brave's Birthday (Rev Oughton & Brave

    With a large assortment of games to choose from, several groups settled into playing. Apples to Apples was a popular choice. One of the most intense though was a game of Jenga played by Len & Judy Ivel, Ron & Cindy LaPointe and Carol Mulrain. The tower reached an incredible height of 30 levels before toppling.
