They tell a GREAT fish story!
Residents of Menno Place have enjoyed the hospitality and thrill of fishing at the Trout Creek Farm in Mission, BC. Take a look at one fishing trip that took place in June. Thank you to the owner of Trout Creek Farm for opening up the opportunity to come fishing.
Canada Day Classic Car Celebration!
It was a great day to celebrate Canada’s 148th Birthday together! With classic cars, BBQs and live music – don’t forget the ice cream! – we had a full day of celebration fun. Thank you to the Recreation team who always make a party a lot of fun. Many residents who live at Menno Place have experienced what it is like to be in a country that has an oppressive or corrupt government. Many have immigrated from another country with the hope of living a safe, thriving and peaceful life in Canada. There is great appreciation for our country among the elders that live in Abbotsford. It was a pleasure to celebrate our land together – “God keep our land, glorious and free!”
Celebrating Pastoral Care Volunteers
Thank you to the many people who volunteer their time and talents to provide pastoral and spiritual care for the residents at Menno Place. A special celebration and thank you was held to share appreciation for the faithful people who are a valued part of our Pastoral Care Team. The luncheon was a time to hear from Don Klassen and Betty Horch about their experiences here at Menno Place as volunteers in this area. They shared how this ministry has brought them joy, friendship and meaning as they meet one-on-one with residents who request these visits.
Other volunteers share their talents through music, leading worship services, prayer meetings and Bible Studies. Residents love and appreciate the opportunity to have a regular visitor, a regular worship service and spiritual support as they make their way
