Thank you ….a huge THANK YOU to everyone who took the opportunity to be a part of our Easter Breakfast here at St Paul. It takes many hands to make our breakfast a success year after year. Hands to make decorations, crack eggs, cut up fruit, to serve and to clean up, all working together, to make Easter morning special for all. A special thank you to Phil Voge and his crew for donating and then cooking the sausage and ham Easter morning. He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed!!!
