Well it has been some time ... what am I saying.. over a year since I last placed a blog on site. It was a very tough year with a loss of Kevin's Dad Norm just before Christmas and then I lost an Uncle and an Aunt in the past couple of months seemed like there was a real gloomy place in our lives for a while. Norm who was Dad to me as well was sick for over 8 months. We all took turns in caring for him and enjoying the time we got to spend together. I must say I had also become a bit disheartened over a couple of other incidents as well.
Out of all of this I think we have all emerged stronger with the help of God and all of our family and friends. Life has to march on. I had to tell myself multiple times to snap out of this apathetic mode and get in gear! I truly still believe we all have a purpose in how we relate to sharing the work of God and Jesus in our lives.
We have so few young kids at our church that it was very hard to try to get a social area happening there at the church. First the day and time were wrong and then well.. it just didn't happen with only one child showing up thus the bit of downward trend with my activities. But not to digress!
Onward we move. Tanya Douglas, her husband Dave, and my husband Kevin and I have been able to get a Family social club starting with some good results so we will move on with some other events there as well.
During March Break we had a very successful Circus Camp day with 18 kids and plenty of volunteers show. Bible stories, crafts games and clowns made for a really great day! One parent was so happy with the day she made a donation to the church.
On we go! Tanya and I will be attending a Messy Church Fiesta on Saturday in London to learn another way to bring more people with young families to God. I will keep you posted!
Smile Bright and God Bless
