Senior Mission Trip & Fall Festival Snowout

Posted on 14. Oct, 2009 by andrea in Newsletter Articles

A senior adult mission team from First Baptist Church Kings Mountain, NC came up to help with our Fall Festival events in Silverado and Chaparral. A 7 member team, ages ranging from 70 to 77, arrived September 30th feeling sunshine and warmth on their faces. But by Saturday, the cold winds had arrived bringing snow showers and overcast skies. The team braved the cold and two hour set up in Silverado. But the cold dreary weather kept even the bravest Calgarians from coming out. Nonetheless, the Southwinds volunteers along with the visiting seniors had a great time and kept warm with lots of hot chocolate during the festival. Sunday’s Fall Festival in Chaparral was a total snowout. But that did not stop this senior group from baking brownies and cookies for some of their new Canadian friends. They delivered the baked goods along with a handmade “Thank You” card after a great Sunday worship service at Southwinds Church. God serves through all His people.

Thank you Morris, Marjorie, Dean, Dot, Joanne, June and Mary.
