Greenfield's Big Day
I have just returned from the Greenfield "Flea Market & Home Bake Sale" presented by the St. Barnabas Ladies Guild.
In the way nearly all ladies groups function, a sale is held to support ministry and mission in the church. But it is not just about the "sale"; it's fellowship and bringing a community together. It's far too simple to say they are raising funds for oil or missionaries, it is so very much more.
Little communities are scattered around rural Canada and as their post offices and schools vanish, along with many of their young, there are events like this that bring the community together. It's social, and truly, ministry! Friends meet and old acquaintances renew old friendships and family news. What else is church for than to bring good news. This event very much brings good news to the community.
Here are some pictures of what is taking place today in their Hall on the Back Greenfield Road:
