Aug 24: St.Catharines

Mostly Photos, not feeling that inspired for words...

Sunday Celebration service at Queenston Heights park. The "meet and greet" and "ministry fair" and "peach social" was supposed to happen from 2pm-4pm. It rained from 2-4, pretty much steadily, though it increased and decreased in intensity.

Some took advantage of the downtimes. No names will be released...


People headed over to the outdoor, uncovered, totally wet grass, ampitheatre at 4pm anyways.

The rain, stopped...

The service, went well...



Afterwards there was a humongous bbq/picnic. I was expecting them to just feed the riders and crew, but the food just kept coming, and it seemed to feed everyone who stood in line. What an immense undertaking. It seems that ALL the local CRC congregations have had a hand in at least some aspect of hosting us here in St.Catharines (various meals, and so on.)

On the bus back to the school for the night.


Tomorrow, the border once more, and on to Byron, NY, to an RV Park. 123km in total. I would be surprised if there was internet available tomorrow night. We'll see.

Thanks for the update, Art.
Nick and I would love to do this together someday!

Say hello to Cal Heckman, who is Maria's boss at the Faith Prayer, and Tract League.

Also to our friend Paul Bush, Nick hangs around with his son Zach.
