WHERE THERE IS HOPE
This is a pic (obviously :-S) of Hope Wesleyan Church in
Shelburne, Nova Scotia. More about this later.
If you’ve never been
to the South Shore of NS, you should put it on your bucket list. The raw
beauty, salty air, wonderful friendly people, great food and all those picture
postcard shots you need to take, are all here.
Every week, particularly in the summer, there is some kind of festival
going on. This summer, we made it down for the Tall Ships and almost made it to
the Kayak Festival but they were all booked up :-(..Oh,
well…there’s always next year!
There are B&B’s, cottages and inns for accommodations
and lots of great places to eat! We even had take-out this past week and it was
great! We had fish and chips for supper from The Ship’s Galley take-out and for lunch we ate at Bistro 138. Yum is the key word for both
places!!
Also, there’s some great shopping. You’re not going to find
a Wal-Mart (but really, should you be shopping in a Wal-Mart while you’re on
vaca or visiting a place?). Instead you’ll find locally owned and operated
shops of all kinds with the most friendly, helpful people you’ll ever meet (although I’m sure there are friendly people in all areas of the planet )
If you’re a history buff, you’ll appreciate that Shelburne
is one of the sites of the Loyalist and one of the first black Loyalist settlements in
Canada.
You’ll also find great family friendly beaches, boat tours,
kayaking, fishing and a myriad of other
things to do and experience in Shelburne.
Now I know you must be thinking, why the picture of the
church……..weeelllll…….I’m a little biased in the fact that my daughter and
son-in-law are pastoring at Hope Wesleyan…….and my grand-daughters are there as
well (which has a LOT to do with us being in Shelburne a lot). So if you’re in the
area or moving to Shelburne, try out Hope Wesleyan. You’ll find a warm welcome
and a hand-shake……oh, and you’ll get to meet the two most beautiful little
girls in the world!!!!
