Trevor’s journal 1/07
Follen Church - January 2007
Trevor went to so many meetings and outings on his visit here. We’ve got pictures of him at knitting group which was putting together squares for an afghan - 3 actually - to go to our caring ministry. He came to a R.E. committee meeting and had his picture taken with the portraits of Charles and Eliza Follen who the church is named for.
Did you know that the Follens popularized Christmas trees in this country? They brought the idea from Germany. And here at Follen we still sell Christmas trees!
Trevor dropped by Coming of Age (there are pictures to prove it) and spent a Sunday morning asking people what their favorite church activities were.
Trevor helped out with family worship. We told a story about honey - he liked that. He came to a R.E. class and helped light the chalice, visited our childrens choirs and went off on a weekend retreat at Cardigan Lodge. The Lodge is an Appalachian Mountain club property in New Hampshire and although Trevor was invited to come hiking and sledding, he said he’d rather stay inside - because ‘After all, bears hibernate in the winter’. He had fun playing charades and singing after dinner though. And he got to slide …er…ride home in an ice storm!
