Yard Sale...

Today we hosted a flea market of sorts at Arrowhead - we were hopeful that we'd have a good turnout to spite the fact that we are a bit off the beaten path! It wasn't a bust and we had a great day! Rob and Irene VanAsperen came down to join Liz and I and Marcia as we held our sale in the big field. There were several items of Arrowhead's that we felt would be better in different hands than sitting at our property collecting dust. Arrowhead raised over $300 for our dock project.

Irene baked some beautiful baked goods and had them for sale (our fridge is now sufficiently stocked with goodies - yay!). Liz had the BBQ going and we sold hot dogs and pop. It was a fun day, a productive day and a beautiful sunny day and we were able to get rid of some superfluous things from our move.

We were excited when a couple of carloads of friends from Riverglade Baptist Church pulled in. They checked out the yard sale and were able to have a tour of ANBC and see all of the work that has been accomplished this Spring!

A great day to spend with friends.

Liz and I will be traveling to Nova Scotia today to collect the generous gifts of several churches who have taken part in the Grocery Grabber program. We'll make a little video blog of our journey and take you along with us! It should be a fun week.

Plans for camp are coming along, Staffing is all coming together very nicely - we should be well staffed this year. The Lord has certainly been humbling us as He's provided for us in this area of camp. We are now working to communicate closely with the band leadership and recreation departments to ensure that all of the kids that want to come to camp get here! Please keep this item in prayer over the next few weeks.
