Dunbar Harvest Festival - Now with St Philip's pens that don't break!

This past Saturday was the Dunbar Harvest festival and members of St Philip's were in our usual station on Dunbar, handing out beads, pens and sharing God's love with our neighbours.

 

In the two years that I have been at St Philip's this has been an annual event in which we have participated and so this was my third time hanging out at this neighbourhood festival. This year was by far the best year - due to a major assist from the lovely weather - we had lots of people stop my our table for a little chat and heard that people remember our rummage sale and our beads from previous years. 

Clare Morgan and Carol Simpson are perfectly set to give beads to the kids

In case you didn't get a chance to stop by and visit up, here are just some of the pictures from this weekend's event. 

Lots of families from the Dunbar neighbourhood remembered us from previous years and appreciated our participation in the Harvest Festival.Also popular amongst those who visited the table were our reminder flyers about this Saturday's Rummage Sale. It is sure the be a huge success!

The warm sunny weather was a big improvement on last year's torrential rain storm and had everyone smiling.

Best of all, the new St Philip's pens we ordered don't break right away! (Which is clearly what has Charlotte in such a good mood). This may seem like a trivial thing to some of you, but I have been talking about it all week because I am so excited!

Filling each other in as some people arrive and others leave. People from St Philip's took shifts of an hour or two at the table.

 

 

Charlie, the Stephens' family dog, was in fine form as usual and was obviously excited the share the news of our upcoming Pet Blessing with all the other pets in Dunbar.

Overall, it was a wonderful way to spend some time with other enthusiastic St Philip's members, sharing what we love most about our Church with others.
