A Fair Day at the Fair

Five CLTS students travelled to Simcoe, Ontario, to assist in an annual outreach initiative of the local congregations at the Norfolk County Fair. The seminarians were given the opportunity to develop outreach and evangelism skills through the oversight of Pastor Dan Abraham. Andrew Cottrill relayed the experience of the fair as being “a great chance for the church to maintain her presence in the community, and a practical way for seminarians to apply what they’re learning to everyday folks with whom they share the gospel.”

The congregations of St. Peter’s (Simcoe), Peace (Tillsonburg), Christ the King (Port Rowan), and Trinity (Fisherville), have maintained a fair booth presence at the Norfolk County Fair for over twenty years with the assistance of the Lutheran Laymen’s League.
