Sunday morning service was opened with a welcome to everyone from Richelle Shelton.
We had 210 in attendance on Sunday morning.
There were several baptised then the youth took charge of the service. The little ones did a fantastic job of singing and acting out the songs. Then the older youth did some skits which showed how things get out of hand and how we, as Christians, should react to the situations. They did an outstanding job. The teachers and helpers are so patient and caring it amazes me at what all they accomplish with these young people.
A great day was enjoyed in the home of Bob and Nora Edwards as family gathered to celebrate Mother’s day and daughter, Jacinda’s birthday.
