Morning Tea to Farewell Dan
The Rev. Dan Spragg’s last service at The Village will be on Sunday 28 January 2024. We will farewell Dan, and thank him for his ministry among us over the last nine years, with a special morning tea after the service. I would appreciate everyone contributing a small plate of treats for this morning tea. Thank you.
