Our Farewell Service

We had our farewell service at church on Sunday. Was a great day! Our church family are all so lovely and generous and thoughtful and kind!
The church prayed for the team and we were presented with a Darwin Survival kit. It contained a box full of deodorant LOL, a box of tiny crocodile lollies, a mascot (crocodile) called Charles and solar powered fan hats.So that we don't forget where we came from we were also given a box of Penrith memorabilia. It contained Penrith souvenir spoons, fridge magnets with pictures of Penrith on them, Penrith Keyrings and the funniest thing was a Penrith Snowglobe!!! Who would have known that you can buy Penrith Snowglobes!!! Was such a beautiful send off for us and the rest of the team.
After the morning service we had lunch at the Ming Chinese restaurant in Panthers. 23 years ago Ps Jack and Carol began their church services in the Woodriff Room at Panthers. We were able to go have a look at the room and take photos. It was very special having Ps Tom Messer and also Ps Tom Renard their with us.

I think my next time I blog will be when we arrive on Darwin soil! Till then.....
