Snow Day in Château-d’Oex

Hello everyone! We are happy to announce our day trip to Château-d’Oex on Sabbath, February 6th from 10:30AM to 5PM. We will meet at 10:30AM at the parking in front of Brendan’s house, which is in route de Saanen 71, Chateau-d’Oex. You will spot it easily as it is collocated with a restaurant named McCarthy’s “Lord of the Burgers”.

Program:

• 10:30AM: We depart from Brendan’s place to our worship places. We will follow all the Canton’s Covid regulations, so depending on the number of participants we will be divided into small groups which will be in different physical locations. For the first time we will have a combo-worship: each one of us will be worshipping in person within a small group, and over Zoom with the entire group. Clifford will share with us the Word of God.
• 12PM: Lunch
• 2PM: We’ll go for snow activities in beautiful surroundings of Château-d’Oex. There will be two options:
  • a hike in the snow: we’ll decide on the spot which of the many exciting paths to take, and
  • sledging on a small hill nearby (subject to weather conditions)
• 5PM: Farewell & Departure.
