With sadness, but also gratitude, we said farewell today to the staff at Ascot Park as we prepare to leave the centre on Tuesday (30/4).
Trading in the shop ceased last Friday in preparation for the closure. It is a sad financial reality that we couldn't continue to sustain the losses being incurred at the Centre.
We are grateful for the work of Wendy, Ray and Tryntje in the early days, working hard to set up the shop. We are grateful for the work of Helen who has managed the shop over the last 17 months. We are thankful for the team of volunteers that have worked hard to create a sense of community and care through the centre. Countless people have been served, not only clothes and bric-a-brac, but also love.
We are thankful to God for the fruit that has been borne in Ascot Park and look forward to where he leads our church next.
