I was a child of Waites Corner, but moved "downtown" at the age of 15 and became a member of Christ Church. Still, in my heart I was still bonded with The Church of the Good Shepherd - four of our children were baptized there. As our family got older we became more and more involved with Christ Church, especially during the years with Father Goodness and Father Whistler as Rector. Our boys sang in the choir, we were advisors to the EYC and Christ Church became home to us. But, as so often happens when one reaches this time in their lives, (our 3rd great-grandchild was born last night) as we sat on our porch today reflecting on our lives together, my husband somehow got on the subject of "wonder whatever happened to Christ Church Camp", so I got on my IPad and so it goes ........... An afternoon of reminiscing, and gratitude for all the good things in our lives and how we have worked through the unbearable times because of the influence some remarkable people we met starting with the Church of the Good Shepherd. We are living in Maine now and I'm sorry to say have not established a relationship with a church here. I will continue to follow your site.Nanajanet321@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256576573761778510.post-88099820109203862902010-05-30T02:16:18.485-05:002010-05-30T02:16:18.485-05:00A GOOD Church with GOOD People.
