Got a bit of time next month? Time to give blood and change lives? 1 in 3 People in Bayside will need blood, and they need people like you to give it. We’re popping up in town at the Beaumaris Uniting Church from 8 to 13 April. Don’t forget to pre-book your spot at lifeblood.com.au, on our app or on 13 14 95.
The heat of recent days may have deterred a few, but the quality of the pancakes and the great entertainment made up for the smaller than expected gathering for our Uniting Care Pancake brunch after church last week. Proceeds from the sales went to the work of Uniting Care in the wider community.
We also ran a Lucky Numbers competition for Uniting Care
A big thank you to the kitchen staff (Wendy, Geoff, Janet and Suzy) who laboured through the morning /early afternoon to load up our groaning paper plates with yummy pancakes laden with fruits of many kinds and ice cream.
Ali and John Davies and David Scott also provided the musical entertainment.
None of this would have happened without the energy, enthusiasm and organisation of Wendy who convinced the church calendar to delay Shrove Tuesday especially for us! We hope St Patrick didn’t mind sharing March 17th with us!
Please join us straight after the 9:30am service on Sunday 17th March for pancakes and a hot or cold drink in lieu of our usual morning tea. Wendy Hinde would be grateful to any volunteers to flip for a good cause in the kitchen and also for donations of pancake mixes and toppings. All funds raised will be donated to UnitingCare. We apologise for delaying this much awaited event on our church social calendar but our main organiser was away.
