Quiet church after stir-up Sunday.

STIR up, we beseech thee, O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people: that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works, may of thee be plenteously rewarded.

Labor day trip to Barrie for a brief view of Lake Simcoe before school starts…
A GO train cab car to the right of a grey platform, with some passengers and a shelter on the right. Blue sky, tracks can be seen in front of the train towards the camera. a grey concrete path bending slightly towards the left where it passes a couple of trees, water can be seen on the far left, short green grass on either side of the path, and some more trees in the background and far right. Blue sky (it is very hot). A large lake viewed from a grassy bank, some trees to the right on the near shore and the far shore green and visible not too far away. The lake appears to widen beyond the trees on the near shore in the center right, far away. Blue sky.
