In remembrance

We grieve today the death of Hilliard "Boots" Cooper who passed away at the age of 90.

Boots was a member of the 8am community for many years until health issues kept him away. 

He still loved to make it out to Simple Suppers and special events to spend time with his church family.

Spring Cleaning at St A's

Spring Cleaning at St A's

The Lower Hall floors have had a refresh!!

This past week the Lower Hall has seen both the tile floor and carpeted areas revitalised!!

Many thanks to Randy & Rita for overseeing this process which was long overdue.

The company not only waxed the floor but provided and extra sealant

which should preserve the tiles and make clean up an easier process.

The carpet looks much better although there are a few places that some marks just couldn't be shifted

(after the many years that the carpet has served the space this is not surprising!!)

There are still a couple of tweaks that need to be made; this will take place after Easter.

Hello everyone!!
 
Anne and Peter's 'on again, off again' trip to the Sunshine coast is ON AGAIN!!!          
 
We will be leaving right after Easter, back home sometime around the middle of May. 
 
I had intended to have a wrap up 'gathering' on April 24, but that will have to wait till later on in May.
 
I will schedule it when we get our feet back on home turf, so we all have something to look forward to! 
 
See you all then.
Anne
