A big thanks to all the volunteers who put in so much time to make this such a great event.

Our AGM will follow after the service. A friendly reminder that our Grainshed Kids on-site is on break and will be back Sunday, October 9, 2022.

‘Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pastures.

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart’. Psalm 37:3-4
