Welcome Back BBQ 2009
Posted Sep 21, 2009

The Summerlea congregation and local community were treated to a Welcome Back Barbeque after the service on September 20, 2009. The weather was sunny and fresh, perfect for an outdoor gathering. Rev. Heather had been invited to keep the service short, so all gathered on the lawn before 11:30 to enjoy hamburgers and hotdogs cooked on the barbeque along with juice, coffee and desserts. Invitations had been deposited in neighbouring mailboxes and a number of folks from the surrounding community joined in, along with Jeff Barlow, Bernard and a number of folks from St. Andrew's United Church after their service was over. Our thanks to the McKenzies, Maklans, Osbornes, the youth group and others who acquired and prepared, provided barbies, set up, cooked, served and cleaned up. The photos on this page are pickable to see a larger version. They were shot without warning, so we find some folks stuffing their mouths or in otherwise non-glamorous poses, but them's the breaks. We missed most of the neighbours and the St. Andrew's folks because the snap-shooter got involved in feeding his face and shooting the breeze.

Hotdogs and hamburgers were cooked on bbq's on the Acadia lawn.

First come first served at the buffet style tables, while the servers and chefs try to keep up with demand.

But soon all were occupied in consuming the very tasty fare, while shooting the breeze with one another.

Our thanks to all those who made possible this very enjoyable beginning to the 2009 / 2010 Summerlea year.
