Bake Sale at the Salvation Army

This was a great day. The sun was shining and everybody was in good humour. When I arrived at the Salvation Army Community Church this morning at 8:50am a few of our team were already there and our table was well on the way to being laden down with all kinds of goodies - cakes, rolls, biscuits, fudge, pies and lots of other things.

At 10am the doors opened there seemed to be a fair stream of people for the next two hours. Things quieted down about noon and were still quiet when I left at 1pm. I don't know how much money was raised for the school but it was more than with which we started.

Thanks to all those who helped with the sale. And if you bought something - thanks to you too.

I want to introduce you to a couple of more members of our team at this time.


The first is Paul Sims. Paul is a member of the Plymouth Baptist Church and is a faithful attender. He and his wife, Joyce, are hard workers in the church. Paul missed the last trip to Haiti and I was determined that he was not going to miss this opportunity. He is excited about the trip and looking forward to whatever God has in store for him and the team.
The second is Ed Rose. Ed is first of all a Christian man with a big heart for people, serving God in many ways in his local church and day-to-day as he encounters many people in his construction business. This is Ed's third time to visit and help out at HATS-Haiti. (Written by his wife, Janet)

Mark your calendars for January 02, 2009 - That's the night that we will be having a kind of commissioning service for the team. We would welcome any who want to come and be a part of this service as we praise and worship God for all that He is doing in our lives and in the lives of our friends in Haiti. That's at 7pm in the Yarmouth Salvation Army Community Church.

Have a great time at worship tomorrow and the blessing of God be on you and yours
Pastor Dennis
