Atlantic Baptist Women's (WMS) Summer Family Picnic July 10, 2009

                    Our Annual ABW (WMS) Summer Family Picnic was held today at Camp Chip and a great time was had by all. There was lots of food, fun and laughter. Some even went swimming and one went fishing!! Hope you enjoy the pics!

                     Esther Banquet  July 07, 2009

                     A number of the ladies of the church embarked on a journey back to the time of Esther and did a Beth Moore Bible Study on this Old Testament woman. Judy said it was sad to see it end because it was so good. The final night was marked by a special banquet of their favourite meal - and for the most of them that was a turkey dinner. So this evening all the Esthers got together and had a grand time. Mordecai Jr was the server and a good time was had by all!! Enjoy the pics!  May I encourage more of you to get involved in these kinds of studies.

                    Aloha from Hawaii  March 26, 2009

                    The Yankee Swap is our first big event of the new year. This year it was quite a hit as we decided on a Hawaiian theme. As usual, there was no shortage of good food. Hope you enjoy the pics from Hawaii.

                     Recognition Sunday and Church Picnic July 06, 2008

                  Every year we try to recognize and honour our students who have graduated from High School. For one reason or another this did not happen either of the last two years so this Sunday we decided to make that right and honour those students who graduated since our last Recognition Service. In this case it was two lovely, talented young ladies - Allison Bain and Allison Robicheau. As well, we celebrated the retirement of our long time Custodian, David Carston and his wife, Joanne. And that's not the end of it; we also honoured Jean Scott who retired after 30+ years of playing the piano in our church. Here are just a few pics of the proceedings

                   We then gathered up at Gretha and Bob's for our Annual Church BBQ. This was a great feast  and a good time of fellowship. Hope you enjoy these few pics.

                       Yankee Swap  May 15, 2008

                       Our Annual Yankee Swap was quite late this year - we usually have it in January. The lateness of the time did not dampen our enthusiasm though. There was a good turn out and more laughter and teasing than I have seen in a long time. You will see in the photos that there was lots of food and some very unusual gifts. By the way, who took that nice black gift home??

                       Annual Hayride  February 24 2008

                      Every year we try to have a hay wagon ride. This year was a good one. The day was great and the food was good. Here are a few pics - enjoy.

                        Valentine Party at Lotus Garden  February 08, 2008

                       This year we decided that, rather than wash dishes, we would eat out for Valentine's Day. Thus the arrangements were made and just over 40 of us had a very enjoyable meal at Lotus Garden. Most people ate from the Buffet, while a few did order off the menu. The folk at Lotus Garden were very pleasant and helpful.

                       We had a contest to see who could guess the closest number of cinnamon hearts in the bottle - won by Allie Robicheau. We had a hot seat - won by Paul Sims. And we had a poem write-off. There were 8 entries and Joyce Sims was declared the winner. 

                       Hope you enjoy these few pics.

                       Plymouth Annual Meeting Supper  January 31, 2008

                     Our Annual Meeting was kicked off with a Pot Luck Supper. The food was great and so was the fellowship. The meeting also went well. Enjoy the pics of us enjoying the bounty of our heavenly Father who provides so well for us.

                      Family Feud Came to Plymouth Vestry  January 24, 2008

                  2008 got off to a great start when "The Feud" came to our congregations in the Plymouth Vestry. Pastor Raymond Pitcher and his wife, Lauralee, were kind enough to bring the game from their church and share it with us in Plymouth/Pleasant Lake.  During the course of the game there were commercials - the three pics with Larry and Patsy show the winning one. We had a record crowd out for the event and everyone thought it was a great evening. Hope you enjoy a few pics.

                      Seniors' Baskets   December 20, 2007   

                     Another fun thing that we get to do here at Plymouth Baptist is to make up and give away a gift basket to our Seniors. These baskets are filled with fruit, candy, baking, perserves and a few cards to send out in the mail. A good number of our folk participate by bringing items for the baskets and some pack them and deliver them. This year we delivered 24 baskets to our seniors (and to several who were not so senior).

Pastor Dennis was there and he got to sample some of the goodies.

                     Christmas Carolling  December 19, 2007        

                    A highlight of our Advent/Christmas Season is the Annual Carolling Night. We started in Pleasant Lake, continued on into Yarmouth and back to Plymouth. In each community we visited several of our elderly members and sang Christmas Carols for them. Then, back at the Parsonage, we got warmed up with some hot chocolate and some treats. This year it was not too cold and there was a little snow falling to make it a great night. Here are a few pics for you to enjoy and see what you missed if you were not with us.

                   Church Decorating in Plymouth  November 27, 2007

                   Our Annual Fishermen's Service  November 18, 2007    

                 There was a good turn out for our Annual Fishermen's Service and there was a good spirit of enthusiasm as well. Our men's choir did a fine job presenting two sea-faring related hymns. Our special guest soloist, Ms Nancy Goodwin, was an inspiration to us as she presented three well chosen selections of music. And then we were treated to something very special. Lily Swim, who is practicing for The YARC'S presentation of "The Greatest Christmas Pageant Ever" sang a solo "We Three Kings" which delighted all of our hearts. Our Regional Minister, Rev Wayne Fevens, set us thinking with a very challenging message from John 21. And being a good Baptist gathering - we ate. Larry Pitcher looked after the decorating of the church. Enjoy the pics.

                 Church Bowling Party   November 16,2007

                A good number took advantage of the opportunity to get together and have some fun bowling. These pictures really don't do justice to the good time that was had by everyone. Three names were pulled out of the hat to determine the winners for the evening. They were Mike, Paul and Audrey - but we were all winners. Enjoy the few pics that were taken this evening.

               Card Making and Ice Cream Sundae Social  October 25, 2007

                 Sonday Smiles Opening and Church Picnic  September 23, 2007

                    Today marked the opening of the Fall and Winter Session for our Sunday School Program called Sonday Smiles. There were a good number of both children and adults on hand for the first day back. Then after the worship service we had a Corn Boil, Weiner BBQ and a Games Time. This was a highly successful day and every one had a great time. Here are a few pictures to enjoy.

                    Camp Peniel First Annual Golf Tournament  September 22, 2007

             Team One consisted of Don Nelson, Jonathon Nelson, Louis Amirault and Pastor Dennis Leamont.  Team Two was made up of Paul Sims, Dave Carston, Bob Newell and Eric Newell. Let's just say that neither team came close to winning but everyone had a great time and there was a lot of laughing going on.

            Ladies Inductive Bible Study Course  July 13-16, 2007

         When Ambassadors for Christ Canada (AFC) called and offered to conduct an intensive ladies Bible Study at our Church we did not hesitate to say "yes". And what a blessing it was! It was open to all the ladies of our area and we had ladies join us from Yarmouth North and Kemptville Baptist Churches. We had two ladies facilitate the course from AFC International. Barbara Hanak from Atlanta, Georgia and her sister-in-law, Chris Hanak from Washington, DC were very capable leading and in sharing with our ladies. We also had AFC Canadian Director, Brian Hamilton drop in from time to time. His wife, Linda also took the course.

               Baptism at the Lake  July 08,2007

       What a wonderful day!! We had a baptism at the lake this afternoon. The weather was overcast with sunny breaks and mostly warm. A good crowd was on hand and after the service some went swimming, some went kayaking, some went paddle-boating and some went on the donut behind the jet ski. I think that everybody had something to eat. Praise God for a great and glorious day!    

              Church Canada Day BBQ   July 01, 2007

This BBQ has become a yearly event. It is a great time. We gathered at the home of Bob and Gretha Newell and just ate and enjoyed each other's company. There were a lot of laughs. Hope you enjoy these few pics.

In the Fall of 2006 Pastor D was approached and asked to go on a Mission Tour to Haiti to help with a School Project - to finish building a school started in June 2006. The group went to the Deschappelle area and worked with Karen Hull at HATS- Haiti (Hands Across The Sea - Haiti). The leader was Gerry Rhyno. Pastor D repeatedly said that he was not going but finally at the urging of the Church Folk he relented and went. Dave had made up his mind quickly that he was going. The trip included Heather Rhyno, Terry Doucette, Robert Comeau, Brian Roberts, John Fyfe, Ben Churchill, Ed Rose and Wayne LeBlanc.
