SUMMARY:Worship Walk at Barrie Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:Hi all! \nOur next Worship Walk will occur this Wednesday\, December 7\, 7-8 pm\, at the Barrie Arboretum. This is also the evening of the monthly full moon. The moon will reach its fullness at 11:08 pm\, but we will be back home by then. This one is also known as the “Cold Moon”. So\, as always\, dress for the weather. And bring a flashlight. We will share some Bible readings for Advent and pause during our walk to reflect upon some of the life themes suggested both by the moon and scripture. \nDirections for Arboretum: The Arboretum is found in the North-West corner of Sunnidale Park. As you are driving North-West on Sunnidale\, towards the intersection with Cundles\, the Arboretum will be on your right. And\, as you approach the intersection\, you will see a cleared space on the shoulder for parking. I will be waiting for you here. Dress warm and bring a friend. \nbrucesweet4@gmail.com 705-209-3899
