Come prepared to have fun. We have a beautiful lake to swim in, kayaks, canoes a rowboat a paddle boat, lawn games and chairs to sit an just relax. We look forward to welcoming you to our finished home……although landscaping is next and hopefully will be complete by the 2015 picnic!

To help prepare, we are asking that you provide the names of hymns that you might like included. If your selections are not in the hymnal, provide the name and if possible a copy of the selection and I will pass it on to Ed and make copies.
Please understand that we may be limited in the number of selections we sing in the time available. It is the intent for us ALL to have fun!
Our song leader will be George Thomson. Take some time during the upcoming weeks to reflect on your favorites and which hymns you would like the congregation to sing. Your choices may come from the Methodist Hymnal we use each Sunday or from another hymnal. Indicate your selections below or email George directly at thomson131vt@gmail.com
