Lending A Hand

On Sunday afternoon it was our pleasure at Marketplace Chapel to open our doors to a church congregation from Fort MacMurray who needed a place to meet to hold a church service. The least we could do to lend a hand to try and bring a little bit of comfort to people whose lives have been turned upside down because of the forest fire

[Anne ❀]
