"The
scene of a bright Sunday morning, when the boats gathered from far and
near, filled with worshippers in gay apparel, was highly picturesque
and gave church-going the novel charm of a devotional outing to a
shrine of God-tinged beauty."

News
from St. Hubert's Isle - 2003
Good
turnout of 78 for the Annual Service in August. Most of the time at
the Island this summer was spent cleaning and repairing, as you can
see from the website.
Gary Alker again brought a group of young
people from Maryland up to St. Hubert's for 10 days this summer. He
just e-mailed photos from the summer activities, including Jean
Carmichael in swimming! The group spent eight days tearing down the
old gazebo and putting up a new one.
(All the labor and materials for the project
were donated, separate from the Building Fund.)
Replacing
the 1880 Gazebo
This page has before and after shots of Andy
Carmichael's painting improvements, after a lot of clearing of trees
was done by the rest of the family in July. A beaver had built a home
in our boathouse over the winter, leaving sharp pointy tree stumps
surrounding the church. Photo "d" has a glimpse of the new
foundation, finished last October. Thank you so much to everyone who
contributed. Next summer we start on the roof!
Before
& After
And here are photo galleries from last summer
- the youth group from Grace Community Church in Columbia, MD, the
same group that built the gazebo this summer. Six sets of photos which
are still being added to.

And for those of you waiting for 90th birthday
photos, I still have to scan them all. Sorry.
