Flickr SLIDESHOW:
Last Saturday marked the first anniversary of Smokestacks and the Sunrise. We began on Thanksgiving last year, and this year the Thanksgiving theme was subtly changed. Our discussion did not downplay the importance of being thankful for what has been provided for us, but it focused more on reflecting upon what this wealth means to us, given that God has said he will provide abundantly for us. There were many new faces among those who turned out after the summer break, and there was even a bit of an international flavour with exchange students from China, South Korea and Germany. Overall our first year was one of encouraging progress. It was not without its challenges, but seldom are valuable goals easily attained. What’s important is that we have done much to carve out an identity; we’ve built a community; and we’ve eaten a lot of M&M cookies along the way! We hope to see more of all of you in year 2, starting with volunteering at St. Vincent de Paul’s next Saturday!
