Immediately following church on October 1st Sunday school students,
teachers, parents and our visiting priest the Very Reverend Arch Priest Moushegh
Der Kaloustian met at Keown Orchards in Sutton for our annual apple picking
event. All enjoyed a scenic wagon ride to the orchards where we were able to
pick from a variety of apple trees and leisurely stroll the grounds. After a
couple fun-filled hours of apple picking we all headed over to Der Aram and
Yeretsgeen's house for pizza and to put those freshly picked apples to good use!
As soon as we arrived a few adults started getting busy in the kitchen peeling
apples, while others relaxed on the deck conversing with ”Father Mike” (an
affectionate title used by the kids). Some of the children were playing
basketball on the driveway and others were having a blast just rolling around on
Der Hayr’s beautifully manicured lawn. Either way it was a perfect day for just
being outdoors and experiencing God’s Beauty.
Apple crisp anyone? Who could say no to Yeretsgeen’s offer? A piece of warm
apple crisp straight from the oven with ice cream on top and a hot cup of
coffee. It was the perfect way to embrace the fall season.
Thank you to the following individuals for making this day so special: our
Sunday school director, Alan Goshgarian for organizing such a fun event,
Reverend Moushegh for his genuine love and active participation with our Sunday
School children, And Yeretsgeen Margaret for so graciously opening her home so
the fun could continue. Her hospitality was as warm and inviting as her yummy
Apple Crisp!
