After the storms passed on Saturday, September 10, the weather was hot and humid at Suffield on the Green. Thanks go to volunteers Ron Prevost and Judy Holcomb for setting up the booth and to Judy, Joanne Jones, Harrison and Carol Griffin and Pastor Kelvin for manning it for the two day event.
There is more preparation for such an event that one would think. Judy and Joanne had prepared bookmarks, cards to advertise our upcoming celebration concert on Sep. 25, lists of 200th Anniversary Activities and more. Pastor Kelvin had prepared brochures and business cards. Thought was given to items to display such as Bibles (we gave away one), an antique picture of our church, posters advertising the tag sale next Saturday, etc.
On Sunday afternoon, the weather was much cooler and more pleasant. Everyone was more relaxed. We offered children who passed by bracelets or pencils and gave parents info about our church. More than 200 people were touched in some way by our booth volunteers.
Awesome! To God be the Glory!
I really enjoy meeting people who come by at Suffield on the Green. I also enjoy meeting people at other booths.
