The BIG GIVE at Calvin CRC

 Hello again to those who follow this blog : ) 

Another event we held just a bit ago at Calvin was 

THE BIG GIVE.  

https://thebiggive.ca/

The last one we held was back in June of 2022.  

We took a bit of a break, but came back this year with a scaled-down version.  

Below are some pics and videos of the morning. 

We held our BIG GIVE from 

10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on 

Saturday, June 7th.  

Set up started at 9 a.m.  ish. 

Lots of different tents to shelter us from the Sun. 

Our Prayer Tent. 

Several people just stopped by for prayer. We hope they were blessed.  

Soon to be the coffee/snack shelter

We also received some donations and placed them out for people to take for free, as everything offered that day was free.  : ) 

Our bike repair tent.  

A couple of pics of the overall area. 

The bike repair tent was consistently busy for the entire time. 

We held a free car wash as well.  

We cleaned over 30 cars.

  

We had live music.  Thanks for doing that Nisse. 

Cars just kept coming : ) 

Terkuma decided he wanted his bike cleaned as well. 

 : ) 

And we had kids enjoy making crafts.  

Somehow I forgot to get pictures of the lunch we served, which was hotdogs and veggies and juice boxes.   

All in all we served about 160 people for lunch and all who came we hope felt blessed. 

Below you can see two videos.  

The first is Albert riding a pretty cool bike that was fixed up. 

The second was just a panorama of the different things that were going on. 

Thanks again to alllll who helped out and made this event happen. 

Pizza and Games night at Calvin

Hello again, 

So, after the Cadet-o-rama, it was home for a nap and then off to Calvin for our annual pizza and games night. 

We hold this once a year, and different people come out each time.  

This year we had about 37 ish, which is a nice number. 

Pics below. 

Enjoy : ) !! 

The event started at 6 p.m. 

I arrived JUST in time with the pizza's as there was a bit of a snafu with the pizza company, but all worked out.  

The group is waiting patiently for us to get the food out : ) 

Let the pizza devouring begin : ) 

We had 5 different types.  

Along with some veggies and dip and drinks.  

And then the games came out. 

So many different kinds.  This is a very different game of CLUE than I was used to.  

A game of Ticket to Ride also happened.  

Never heard of this one, nor do I remember what it's called.  

And then there was this group of four who decided that fellowshipping was as good as gaming.  

I'm all for it : ).  

Not sure what this one was either, but it was enjoyed.  

The game of life. 

I played Apples to Apples eventually and we all had a great time.  

Until next year.
