St. George's

I ventured to the 'other end' of the Island today and shadowed the Broome's in the ministry in St. George's. Before I went too far, Major Dan and I (with the assistance of Major Bruce) went to the Hospital and had a chapel for some of the patients there.

 
By around lunch time we made it to the Kings Square of St. George's ... where we saw the Town Crier at the ducking stool doing his little demonstration thing ... It just so happens that the corps has a Kettle in the Town Square as well! So, no worries - I wasn't being a 'complete' tourist (it was just all good timing for the day!).
In the afternoon I helped in their preparations for the Christmas Hamper distribution tomorrow.

During the evening we trekked down to 'The Caring Place' where they serve a free meal to those that want it, it is at another local church and volunteers are from the various churches in the area.
When we finished there a trio of us took instruments and played a few carols outside a home of a corps folk.
All in all, yet another great day!
