There will be an Ecumenical Lenten lunch on Wednesday, February 25th, from noon to 1 p.m. at the West Parish Congregational Church located on Church Street in Bethel. This is a free luncheon which is open to all folks in our communities. Lent is a time for repentance, self-examination and spiritual renewal. It is a time to prepare believers for the joy of Easter which is on April 5th.
On February 25th there will also be a Community Meal at the Bethel Alliance Church located across from Telstar High School from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The menu will be meatloaf, rice, vegetables and desserts. This is a free meal open to all.
If you like to dance or listen to live music, the Legion Hall on the Gore Road in Greenwood is the place to enjoy an evening of entertainment. Local musicians, The Fossils, will be playing from 6 pm. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, February 28th. Live music played by our own local, talented musicians is always a hit!
This past Monday was a treat! Bob and I took a drive to Reid State Park in Georgetown and got to walk in the beach sand, smell the salt air and see the waves going out to low tide. It was a beautiful day and being at the ocean is always a treat. It made an ordinary day very special.
My first visit to Reid State Park was back in the late 60’s with my Uncle Paul and family. Over the decades we always brought our family and did a lot of summer camping near the park. Maine is unique because we have the mountains and the ocean. It truly is a vacation land!
