PRAYING FOR OUR YEAR 12 STUDENTS

Most Year 12 students finished formal classes on Monday 24 October with exams starting from November 3. Please keep these young people in your prayers, that they may enjoy success from their hard work.

(and a special prayer for those who thought Maths Methods 1 & 2 was going to be easy, and found out it wasn’t!!!)

A BIG THANK YOU

Sunbury United Junior Soccer Club kindly loaned the Youth Group their BBQ and donated sausages for the Sausage Sizzle  last week.    This  helped  the Youth Group  raise  much needed funds for their monthly activities.
