  • Lots of News

    There has been so much happening in the church that I have not been able to keep up with the posts. Here are some highlights. To see more pictures, click on the picture of the event in this post and it will take you to the photo gallery.

    Doreen & Quentin's Wedding July 24, 2010

    Our own Rev Doreen Oughton and Quentin Lewis got married in a beautiful ceremony this past July. Many of the parishioners were able to attend. Everyone said they had a wonderful time. Congratulations Doreen and Quentin.

    Harvest Fair Sept 18, 2010 – Cindy, Jackie & Debbie @ Apple Crisp stand

    The Harvest Fair was another huge success. We were a little worried when Cindy was in the hospital the week before. Actually, we were in a panic. She does all the planning and organizing for the apple crisp we sell at the fair. But she rallied and was home in time to lead us to another both profitable and fun day. We sold 34 pans of apple crisp. Ron and Quentin sold popcorn and soda. Lenny directed traffic and Bob Kelly ran back and forth with hot pans of apple crisp that Deb E. and Carol M were baking in the church. An added table was the Busy Fingers. Bonnalee volunteered to put out a table of the knitted goods that we sell at the Church Fair. The hats were going as fast as the apple crisp!

    Baptism of Collin Edward Burtt

    Collin Edward Burtt was baptized on Sunday, September 26, 2010. His parents are Craig and Mandy. Collin is Marie Frascolla’s great grandson. The godparents are Amber and Jamie. Rev. Doreen Oughton performed the ceremony with the help of Deacon Ann Orsi.

    Carol Mulrain in good form at the Spare Me Bowling event Sept 26,10

    Spare Me Bowling – held at the Auburn Ten Pins was another huge success. This was the first time we held a bowling fundraiser; everyone was asking when we are going to hold the next one. We raised over $500 and all we did was have a good time. It was good to get together for an activity outside of the church. In addition to our members there were a lot of people from outside the church filling all 20 lanes that AMF Bowling had donated. We want to thank them for their generosity. Everyone there was so nice.

  • Church Picnic Wedding!

    Newlyweds – Marie and Paul Gravina Aug 28, 2010

    The annual church picnic at the LaPointe’s house was extra special this year. Marie Feeney and Paul Gravina got married! Standing under an arch overlooking Stiles Lake, Rev Doreen Oughton performed a beautiful wedding ceremony as Marie and Paul exchanged vows. Most of the members were able to attend and everyone agreed that it was a perfect day.

    Champagne Toast for Marie and Paul

    A champagne toast was given to for the new married couple; wishing them many more years of wedded bliss.

    Marie and Paul cutting the cake

    There was then the traditional cutting of the wedding cake (Christine Cathcart made the cake).

    Gifts

    Cindy LaPointe presented them with a gift that included a very fun reading with different products being opened to finish the sentences. The church picnic then continued with lots of food and boat rides around the lake. It was a magical day. Congratulations Paul and Marie.
