Sunday School Picnic Held at Merck Forest
Members and friends of the Sunday School of the United Church of Dorset and East Rupert gathered at Merck Forest for their annual picnic concluding the year’s activities. Weather cooperated enough to avoid rain and no umbrellas or wet shoes appeared while the food held out. The prior weekend had seen rain cancellations and this year included the church children’s day service as an added element.
