Thank you from Playgroup

Dear church family,

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed through food, donation, prayers, and helping on the day to make our Playgroup Mother’s Day event extra special. The mums/parents, grandparents and carers were overwhelmed by the generosity shown by the church. Thank you for helping us to bless our playgroup families in this way.
