Most wonderful time of the year


So....at times I've thought those Andy Williams' lyrics "It's the most wonderful time of the year, " was rather sappy but I certainly was humming them Monday and Tuesday night.
Truly, one of my most favouite times of the year, is the Oilfields Food Bank Food Drive.  The Volunteer Fire fighters along with the Scouts, Cubs, Guides, Brownies and Sparks head out into our local communities, always the third week of November.  At the end of the evening, all the big vehicles with flashing lights end up at our Church.  Then a line up of adults and children move the food into the basement.    In spite of snow, freezing cold, there were big smiles on children and adults all working together to help others.
   What I also value is the flexibility that all church and partners show in making space for the food hampers to happen.
Thank you all!!
