]]> St. Alban’s Anglican Church Hall in Grand Bank was transformed to a Winter Wonderland on February 3rd, as the ACW ladies/snow/ladies hosted an ecumenical women’s gathering. The scene was enhanced with servings of popcorn and hot chocolate.

The devotion was centred around winter and snow. The hymn, “Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow” was sung, and it reminded us how wonderful it is to visualize how God can take imperfections in our hearts and turn them into something pure, clean, and lovely.

Six women wearing black or red hats and scarves standing in a row, holding and reading from sheet music. A large group of women sitting at tables, laughing and balancing paper plates on their heads while drawing on them with markers. A group of women in a kitchen setting gathering around a large wooden table to prepare several charcuterie-style snack platters. A high-angle view of a room full of people at decorated tables, all participating in a game by balancing plates on their heads. A choir of women in white tops, black pants, and festive hats and scarves performing in front of a stage with quilted backdrops. An empty hall set up with decorated dining tables, blue napkins, and a stage featuring colorful winter-themed quilts and decorations.

The evening included snow games, action games, winter pokey, and singing.  Even Frosty the Snowman made a visit!

Refreshments included charcuterie treats. With over 140 ladies present, it was a beautiful evening with lots of fun and laughter.
