Another year and another Vacation Bible School with Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Massive thank you to all the volunteers and of course the children. We had craft, science, games, story and snack stations to speak of the nature of God. ✝️🙏 we learned Great Big God as well, in this audio.

The final Rector’s Rounds took us almost to the same place we started in Westwood Plateau! This time to Delia’s home and we had High Tea. A great selection of things to eat 😋 and conversation was flowing!! Thanks to all who helped today and for all those who have made the Rector’s Rounds the success it has been 🙏🙏

Tuesday night we hit Port Moody again and this time to the home of Lorraine. She cooked a fabulous meal for us all and we enjoyed conversation on her deck before and after. As always great conversation, people and hospitality - thanks so much, Lorraine 🙏🙏

The penultimate week of Rector’s Rounds and we return to Port Coquitlam and to Joan’s lovely home. Aside from Philip, this was an all female gathering … but they tolerated him well enough 🤣.

A lovely curated supply of food was offered in style.

So many stories shared and we were struck about how many strong women rose above the many challenges they faced.

Thank you Joan and to all who came, it was wonderful.

Second of three Rector’s Rounds socials this week. Today, we arrived in New Westminster and the home of Mark and Shirley.
A bumper crop of apples meant we had delicious apple pie (with ice cream)….and lots of apples to take home. 🍏🍏Again people found they had various connections with each other….thanks to our hosts for allowing us into their beautiful home and making us feel so welcome. 🙏 🤗

The Rector is cringing because he is laughing awkwardly throughout this. He apologises but is excited about how some have already responded so generously!

Why does our church piano need to be replaced? Why can’t it simply ...
