College and Career at the Darvin's

Below are some photos of the dinner and fellowship the College and Career group of Jarvis Street Baptist Church had on 19 February 2005 at Karissa's lovely home. The company was great, and was accompanied by a menu to beat: from the appetizers of tortilla chips with onion dip and pumpernickel with spinach dip (we're told this is a common Canadian appetizer) to the main meal consisting of baked salmon, Filipino minced beef spring rolls, fried noodles and more--right down to the dessert selection of fruit salad, three-flavoured sorbet, chocolate ice-cream, and strawberry mousse cake. Many thanks to Karissa and her mum for their labour of love. Karissa's mum was a tireless hostess for the whole evening, and really made us feel like we were being feted (or fatted*, as the case might be:)... and as meals are always to be had with thanksgiving, this wonderful dinner and time of fellowship wouldn't be complete without a time of praising God through psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, sharing of His goodness, and prayer--for it is He who has given us all things good. May it be that in whatever we do, whether we eat or drink, that we may do all to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31).

*For those of you wondering if "fatted" is a proper English word, it is. We were a little surprised ourselves.
