St. James’~Rosemount United Church

Sunday, October 23, 2011

Join Rev. Val & Janice if you want to go to Rockwood Conservation Area to see the impressive potholes formed during the last Ice Age, caves in the limestone rock, the ruins of the old woolen mill and the welcoming trail through the woods and back past the beach.  There is some gentle elevation that can be handled by average walkers although a walking stick is helpful. Bring WATER and dress for the weather with sturdy footwear.
Any concerns?–contact Janice B.  We will carpool and leave from the church promptly at 1:30 p.m., arriving back at approximately 5:30.  Don’t forget to bring your camera!

Come and rekindle the fire within each one of us
