The Parent & Toddler group at church is supported by a great time of parents whose children have now grown up but who continue to provide the most amazing baking for us:

No wonder she won – look at how many tickets she bought!

She bought and wrapped all the presents for the toddlers, folded well over 1300 raffle tickets, wrapped all the raffle prizes, prepared all the sandwiches and food for the party and did so between an early morning shift at work and a lunchtime duty at school, before coming back to church to help with the Christmas Market. We can’t thank her enough for all she does and are grateful for her commitment, hard work and faithfulness.
