Dear Bowen Islanders,
Whew!! what a gathering!
The chats and the wonderful feast: both so important in the life of our Bowen Island Community, and in the heart of Little Red Church! Thank you for making it possible. You shopped and cooked, sold tickets and organized!! You set tables and served food, you cleaned up and welcomed people on what was a cold night. It is so wonderful to see the folks come in and enjoy themselves, hoping that their ticket would be pulled for the Raffles, wondering who they would see and anticipating a delicious dinner.
I cannot count the hours that Sheila and Lynn put in as organizers, but we all owe them a huge debt of gratitude: what a team!! And Gord and Suzan in the kitchen: woo hoo!!! They are terrific.
But really, with a small congregation, we know that each person’s energy and time matter vitally!
And didn’t the Lodge look fabulous?
So this Sunday when there is no crowd with plates in hand in front of you, do take a minute and review the gift that was ours to give, and feel that warm glow that comes from helping to keep a community strong.
Bless your hearts,
love,
Shelagh
