the Christian Reformed Singers
singing in the evening. They per-
formed an inspiring Easter program
for us.
Tuesday morning was filled With
Fun and Fitness for everyone and a
small activation group. Due to ill-
ness of the scheduled minister for
church service, Queensway put to-
gether its own service. With the as-
sistance of Phyllis Desjardind' who
provided the musical accompani-
ment, they had some biblical read -
Ings, sung hymns and prayed to-
gether.
Thursday afternoon was again
filled with song. Volunteer Joyce
Pepper provided a variety of musi-
cal accompaniment, including the
accordion, with the electronic key-
board. Everyone loves singing the
songs from the good of days.
Following more Fun and Fitness
some folks got together Friday af-
ternoon to bake some cookies
called Alberta honies.
Although no one was sure if the
recipe was even going to work, the
finished product was surprisingly
delicious.
