Children Are The Winners Of Pebble Church Acquisition
PRESIDENT of the Pebble Church Heritage Association, Johanna Medlyn, declared that ‘our children are the winners’ in her address to donors and members at a Garden Party to mark the occasion of the successful return of the church to its community.
LAST Sunday the association marked their achievement in successfully purchasing the Pebble Church in Carapooee, the former St. Peter’s Church of England, by holding a garden party with invited donors and members.
Johanna Medlyn opened the day, after the guests had feasted on delicacies and mingled together on the first cold day of the season, by accounting the circumstances that transpired last September that lead to the purchase of the historic building.
Many people were thanked for their particular contribution to the effort, including North Central News for raising the profile of the issue with the community.
The afternoon was marked with a speech by Tom Proctor who cut the cake, and Joan Harman, who was the caretaker of the church for the last 30 years.
The beautiful church is in pristine condition and once again became the place for its community to mingle and enjoy.
