A Wonderful Day in West Haven


Thank you, Nancy Best.

Random Pictures from today
















Hymn Sing and Testimony Service






















We had to eat fast! Michelle and Jenny
Katy and Sarah















Wendy Wood touched our hearts by sharing something written by her husband, Dr. Jim Wood.





Terry Hall gave his testimony praising God for the very real changes in his life.





















Almost 50 people gathered this afternoon at the West Haven Baptist Church for a time of hymn singing and testimonies. It was an absolutely wonderful service with some community members in attendance as well as people from the West Haven Church, Fair Haven Baptist, Fair Haven Methodist, Castleton Federated, Benson United Church, and the North Chittenden Wesleyan Church. Michelle and Peter Jacquith came from Richmond, Vermont with their three girls. Michelle was the pianist for the service. Carol Richards and Frances Ehman both played the organ at different times during the service. Nancy Best was in charge of refreshments and did a wonderful job. We were treated to quite an array of baked cookies and treats and a delicious punch. Thank you everyone!




















With the help of a GPS the Jacquiths found us for a chili lunch before the service. After the service the Jacquiths and the Grovers came back for pie and ice cream. Michelle Jacquith and Michael Grover are twins! It was a special treat for Barry and me to have Elisabeth come to the service with the Grovers.

ELISABETH'S SOCCER GAME
























































I had an unusual Thursday off from the ER and consequently was able to attend Elisabeth's soccer game. Although Elisabeth is a homeschooler she is able to play on the Rutland Area Christian School's (RACS) team. Tim Elliott from their church is the coach and I am posting some of the pictures from that game against the team from Truthville Baptist School. RACS lost but gained valuable experience and were stalwart in their effort!

Roofing Project Part One!


Tuesday and Wednesday of this week we began some roofing work that has needed to be done. We did the back side of the cottage upper roof and little porch over the back deck this year. The rest of the roof we will do next year. Dan Williams is a general contractor from Poultney who had been out last summer to look things over and give us an estimate. I know Dan as he is one of our faithful ER volunteers. Dan put architectural shingles on which come with a 30 year guarantee which means neither one of us will have to be involved the next time the roof needs doing!
