St. David's Easter Sunday Sunrise Service and Breakfast

Once again St. David's held their Easter Sunrise Service. This year the weather forced the service to be held in the sanctuary, rather than out the elements. A sumptuous breakfast at the Port Hastings Fire Hall followed the service.

A Kodak moment!

Madison Timmons and Sam Fox were confirmed and Robert Downard was received into membership in the United Church of Canada.
