at Grace Memorial, Fredericton
On Wednesday, the missions group at Grace Memorial Baptist Church hosted a gathering for us with members of their congregation and other area churches. We enjoyed a great potluck dinner and time of sharing about the ministries we are a part of in Kenya.
Pastor Doug slipped out during the dinner to be a part of the closing basketball game for a Special Olympics team that practices in the church gymnasium. It was wonderful to learn about some of the ways that the church is opening itself to its community and of the blessing of seeing God at work in the lives of others.
Another highlight of the night for us, was meeting some friends we had not expected to see in Fredericton, like Rob & Sharon Vance who moved from Charlottetown, Diane Bannister's parents, and our CBM colleague Brian Malcolm, who was visiting his parents. Among the gathering were also several CBM alumni including Charlie and Fran Harvey who had served in Africa for many years!
