Summer Fun at River Run

Although the campfires arranged in early summer were rained out several times, eventually we were able to get together for some outdoor fun.

In early July Stan & Cheri had the church out to their place in the country to enjoy their million dollar view.  Nic BBQ'd the burgers and dogs, and Wilf presented his now famous Lemon Pie while Kathy H added her amazing fruit in a melon.  To say the least it was a great night.

Near the end of July we met on a Sunday evening around Barry & Cathy's swimming pool to witness Ron's baptism in water.  Ron couldn't be kept out of the water as he clearly shared his testimony about receiving Christ and his desire to be baptized.  After Jason baptized Ron, he had hands placed on him for him to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit came upon Ron with a visible demonstration in the pool.  It was wonderful to witness the work of God in Ron's life.

A midweek picnic was held at Stephen & Cindy's in early August and the turn out was fantastic.  Everyone brought great food and a special shout out goes to those who indulged us with KFC.  Thank you!  Also a quick note to say how great it was to have so many kids out that night, and to see them enjoying themselves.

In mid August several hardy families camped together at Balsam Lake Provincial Park.  The rain held off so they could enjoy swimming, campfires, and eat allot of marshmallows ... especially Alisa, and Moriah.  Moriah and Alisa also perfected their english accents while Ben, Sterling, and DJ became structural engineers with a huge sand canal.  Valentino danced the whole weekend, and Nibila remained her cute self.  It was also wonderful to hear that Julie a friend to many families at River Run, received Christ into her life.  Congratulations Julie, life will never be the same.  Many more camping picture can be seen on River Run Fellowship Facebook.
