Social Committee: Dessert for ADRA
hank you to all those that attended the
"Dessert for ADRA" on the 20th September. I believe everyone there really enjoyed their
dessert as well as fellowshipping with our
church family. Very happy to say that, $1,817.00
was raised on the night. Thank you all so much
for your generous contributions towards the
ADRA appeal. A special thank you to Corine Dabbadie (our pastry chef), who made those very
delicious desserts and the amazing cake with
cup cakes.
Social Committee: Annual Church Camp
A Big Thank You to all those that were able to
attend our annual church camp last weekend, and
for making it such an amazing time away. There
were just over 70 of us who were there for the
weekend and 5 Sabbath Day visitors. Everyone
there had a great time, fellowshipping together
from our daily worships, our morning stroll & prayer to the yummy food, games night, horse riding,
flying fox and our famous 'cootie championship' to
name a few. It wouldn't have been such a success
without so many of you - thank you once again.
Hope to see you all there next year! Details of November and December events coming up soon!
