Subzero Decade


SubZero is our youth club for gr.4-7 and has been running for 10 years. To celebrate this we had an evening of boerie-rolls, pancakes, waffles and lots of games to celebrate. Although the weather was really wet, we did not let it dampen our spirits and a load of fun was had by adults and children.

A big "THANK YOU" to all who helped and especially the ones who've been helping for the last ten years. May there be many more years of life change in our pre-teens!

Cross Installation


A year or two ago Gavin Tucker was able to organise a metal cross for the church through a work contact he had. We already had the wooden cross being made for the office side and so we agreed to mount this one on the Western Side of the church.

Peter Fourie made some size and proportion adjustments and painted the cross. He also organised the rope-light to provide lighting from behind and voila! We were ready to mount it.

Peter provided the equipment and expertise and Theo was the "handlanger" and the cross was mounted. We'll still post a night-time photo...

Wedding Dress Show and Tea Party


The Ladies of Grace (in particular Joy Smith and Tracey Campbell) organised a Saturday afternoon fund-raiser that was well attended and very successful.

The concept behind the function was that ladies who still had their wedding dresses, made them available to be modelled by a willing group of volunteers. There were a number of ladies who hosted tables and each of them had to lay their table and decorate it.

There were some song and dance items and in between delicious eats were enjoyed by all the ladies.

The show of all the dresses was what it was all about and those present found the display of dresses interesting and nostalgic. There were many happy memories and the odd tear or two. The oldest dress was nearly 49 years old and one dress was modelled by the owner's grand-daughter.

All in all, it was a great success and a big thank you must go to all who helped make it happen!
