The sun shone (most of the day) and a great time was had by all. The Thriving Kids particularly enjoyed the Bouncy castle. There were some big kids that day!
The men (or boys!) enjoyed the games - there were a few aching joints and stiff legs the following morning!
The women enjoyed stealing away and engaging in quiet chats in the peaceful surroundings!
The BBQ was enjoyed by all. Burgers and sausages are always a hit and cooked to perfection! The new range of 'Provence Salads' from Rich Sauces went down well - available to buy soon in Tesco and all good retail outlets!
The money raised (over £1000 in total) will help the churches serve and meet the needs of the locals in these underprivileged areas of the world, while advancing the cause of the gospel. One happy thriver commented how they hadn't been able to be involved in any of the other fund-raising activities but just by turning up and enjoying themsleves as a family, they were helping people they would probably never meet! That's why the local church really is the hope of the world!
