In May, members were invited to participate in painting a Barn Quilt to be displayed outside the church and will be part of the Quilt Tour for many years to come. Participants painted the squares in four solid colors that were arranged to form the background and holy cross quilt pieces. This masterpiece is now on display for residents and tourists to enjoy as part of the Albert County Historical Barn and Business Quilt Tour.
This event happened in order to create “Togetherness” by bringing all ages together to create a beautiful piece of artwork. Those who were unable to attend were provided with the opportunity to sign the quilt block before it was displayed outside the building.
The Anniversary Committee: Rev. Geoff deJong, Rev. Dean MacDonald, Katrina Steeves, Nettie Steeves, and Chandra Smith
Finally, Rally Sunday was held on September 11 where the children who attended Vacation Bible School this summer performed. Attendees enjoyed a BBQ and some old fashioned games such as an egg race, three-legged races and wheelbarrow races.
