Tonight Eric and I offered another congregational Paddle on the Passaic River. Above you see Lavern, Melonie, Al, Lois, Dominick, Alisa, Eric and Githingi. From the Elmwood Park "marina" we paddled north under the Rt. 4 bridge and just about to the Burger King on Rt. 20 &10th Ave. For most it was the first time in a kayak and after getting over some of the initial uneasyness everyone did terrific

We stopped to reflect on the beauty of God's creation that is all around us. We also reflected on the fact that "we own the river". Every river that you can paddle anything on is "held in trust" by the state for the people. That means we own it and should take care of it. You own the River. Read more about it!
This was such a new and wonderful adventure, I totally enjoyed my self after getting over my initial fears. Special thanks to Pastor John, Eric and Dominick for having such patience with me. We all had a fun time.
