Woman's Retreat at Keswick

This weekend was the Woman's Retreat at Keswick, outside of Whiting, New Jersey. It was a time of fellowship, learning and quiet reflection. A time to get to know each other better and to understand each other better. At time to spend quiet time alone to reflect on your own life.
.
From all reports a wonderful and spiritual uplifting time was had by all. So many spoke of the wonderful program that kept everyone busy and every one involved that Reverend Fran put together, I also hear the food was outstanding.
.
The photos below are from this weekend.

Homecoming Sunday ~ Sunday, October 12, 2009

This Sunday was our "Homecoming Sunday". We had a wonderful and large group to help celebrate, Our guest of honor was Reverend and Mrs. Ron Crouch, Reverend Crouch was a former Pastor at Groveville United Methodist and it was an honor to have him with us once again. I think he also enjoyed seeing some old friends and meeting some new ones.. He enjoyed seeing the church again, also the Parsonage, Cemetery, and Fellowship Hall. I am sure he enjoyed the wonderful "Covered Dish" Brunch we provided. It was a nice occasion.

When we plan a covered dish we never are at a loss for food, we have a church full of good cooks. For a meat course we had Roast Beef and Meat Loaf, after that it was salads, vegetable dishes, deserts, rolls and Butter and a variety of beverages. There is never a shortage of food.
