G 2 G

Some of the attenders (the brave or foolish?) dressed up as their hero and Fr Charles in his role as James Bond was an impressive sight. David Attenborough, Robin Hood, Cat Woman and a ballerina, and many others were in our Parade of Heroes but Batman in his full crime fighting outfit pushed credibility too far.

Rob McCarthy, assisted by Ian Lithgow led the singing and worship, and Bob Barrett did some wonderful work in projecting images. Fran Carruthers read the bible passage, and there was the traditional super spread of food.

Attenders were asked to give their written comments on the evening and there was some excellent feedback including one person who "loved it all" and others who loved the informality, music, food, fun, fellowship and the Christian message.

G2G is in it's early stages but those who attend have really enjoyed it and received a Christian message, so we are on the right tracks but there is still lots to be done.
