There was gardening, hospitality outside, prayer on the streets, litter picking, and child-friendly activities, including a family prayer trail through The Meadows. Along the way, they prayed for families, local schools, the precinct, and the park—lifting up teachers, children, and all who live in the community. St Saviour’s Kids and their families […]

On Monday evening, […]
