Uniting Church Opportunity Shop Blessing and Celebration

A wonderful gathering of over fifty people was held at the opportunity shop on Sunday October 11th 2015 at 2:30pm to celebrate the completion of the extensions to the building.

Ian York from the Management Committee gave a comprehensive overview of the process involved from inception to completion.  John Baker, chairperson of Church Council thanked all those involved in the project including the valued volunteers and then Reverend Christine Thomson read a reflective and very beautiful blessing, most appropriate for the ongoing work at the opportunity shop.

Following the formalities, warm fellowship and a sumptuous afternoon tea were enjoyed by all, along with the opportunity to view the renovations.

The two new extensions will make a huge difference to the smooth running of the facility, with one being used for the unpacking of goods and the other as a display area for books and household goods.
