Grain Shed

THIS week we are reminded that we are called to be free and to serve one another humbly and to “love your neighbour as yourself” – Galatians 5:13-14

Tonight our Grain Shed Youth meet from 7pm-9pm. All secondary students are welcome.

Join us at our church service on Sunday at 10am with the Grain Shed Kids sign-in desk open from 9.45am.

Our mainly music interactive program is on again on at 10am. This activity is for bubs, toddlers, pre-schoolers with a parent, grandparent or carer.

Our craft ladies meet at 10am on Thursdays.

Save the date for the upcoming encounter night on Wednesday, May 10 at 7pm.

Mothers Day is coming up on Sunday, May 14 and we have a range of great gift ideas at our Koorong stand, so come and check it out.
