Pastor LeRoy Pennell
Assitant Pastor Brett Pennell
We drove into Barrie trying to count all the students we might know who come to Crown from Heritage Baptist Church. Dr. Pennell is also a pastor we are quite familiar with because he often comes to preach in chapel and meetings at the Temple Baptist Church. He and his son Brett welcomed us warmly.
Once again we met someone from the Swains' past years of ministry. Little Chase Pennell(pictured here celebrating the last day of school) is the son of Melissa (Black) Pennell, one of the Swains' former students from Michigan.
Since the youth meeting was not until Friday evening, we had the opportunity of passing out tracts in the park near Simcoe Lake that afternoon. We were able to witness to several people we met there including a young lady from Scotland and an older lady from Holland.
The youth meeting Friday night was encouraging, exciting, and fun. After we sang and Brother Swain preached, pastor Brett challenged us with a paper and straw game. Then following refreshments we played Canadian street hockey for our initiation as "real" Canadians. Leslie Bickell also presented Mr. Swain with a jar of "liquid gold" (real maple syrup).
Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Alisha, Cassidy, Sara, Jamie and Nick for a funfilled stay at your wonderful home!
On our way out of Barrie we stopped at the church's garage sale fundraiser and had another opportunity to sing.
