MISSION
MAINLY MUSIC - Can You Help? Commencing at 9.30am on Tuesday 21 February, we will be conducting a pilot of Mainly Music. This community music program for toddlers and their parents has enjoyed great success around the world. Children participate in simple music activities, then parents enjoy a delicious morning tea while children have free play. Its a great way to serve our local community. The value of Mainly Music is the direct contact with people in our local community. Would you be willing to serve as part of a team to help with registration and morning tea? Or leading children and parents in singing and moving to music? Please talk to Cheryle Martin 9255 2526 or Father Chris.
