You know the expression, it takes a whole village to raise a child. The same expression holds true for our church community, in the provision of a lovely reception following the Celebration of Life Service for a former minister at Transfiguration Rev Donald Powell and his wife Ginny on September 27th.
We very much appreciate the support of many of our parishioners, in providing sandwiches, cheese/crackers, sweets, fruit tray, veggie tray, and/or monetary donations to enable provision of additional items to complete the reception.
Thank you too for those who came early and prepared the plating of food (and agreeing to wear masks and gloves while doing so); for serving coffee/tea; for monitoring the food tables and clearing away. Kudos too to Bill Muirhead for manning the dishwasher so ably and to Lindsey Mills for table set up, and to those angels who took laundry home at the end of the day.
The Powell Family were so pleased with the reception provided and expressed their deepest thanks to everyone involved, as do we , the coordinators, for your part in making the day a time for their family and friends to gather, reminisce and celebrate the lives of both Don and Ginny.
Blessings to all
Jean, Joan and Marilyn
