Pastor David Moran, who has been leading the congregation at the Harrowsmith Free Methodist church for the past two years, was busy on May 31 flipping burgers for those who came out to enjoy the church's annual Community Fun Day.
He said the event is a way for members of the church to “let the community know that they care”. Numerous games and activities were set up outside for kids, including a giant bouncy slide and castle while inside the community hall a huge community garage and bake sale was well underway. NHL goalie and Canadian Olympian Mike Smith also made an appearance, as did his Olympic gold medal.
All proceeds from the event will go towards the church's Community Assistance Program (CAP) which has been developed over the last 14 years specifically to help families in need in the community. It was through the CAP program that the church was able to present a $500 cheque to the local family whose Boundary Road home burned down in a fire earlier this year.
