This past Saturday, I had a group of friends in to kick off the festive season. We had a great evening with lots . . .
of chatting and laughter, and we played a fun gift exchange game. Thank you to all of the ladies for joining me. Cheers to the Christmas season, my favourite time of year is here.
On Sunday morning, the Quyon Pastoral Charge drew the lucky winners of the Harvest Draw raffle fall fundraiser after the service at Wesley United Church. This year, there were four wonderful prizes up for grabs. The first prize winner was Marilyn Desabrais and she won a handmade throw crafted by Maryellen Young and donated by Bob and Maryellen. Second prize was won by Ruby McColgan who claimed the basket brimming with bountiful goodies donated by the congregation. Elaine Richardson won third prize, a 20 pound turkey donated by Laura Stewart. The fourth prize was a collectors item 2001 autographed Ottawa Senators jersey donated by Ken Hutchinson and it was won by Marilyn Wakely. The church is very grateful for the support of the community. Congratulations to all of the winners.

The Christmas House Tour is quickly approaching, as it will be held on Dec. 2. This year, we will be visiting the homes of Heather and Adam Sally, Anik and Stephane Monast, Laura and Rob Hobbs and Isabel and Doug Schwartz. I am very much looking forward to the evening. Hope to see many out on the tour.
