Junior Church buys a herd of goats!

Today's service celebrating for the Feast of St Francis marked the end of Junior Church's fund raising project to buy two milking goats. They surpassed this goal by a long way and have raised money for 7 pairs of goats who will be able to produce lots of baby goats so there will be significantly more than 2 goats to provide fresh milk for poorer families.

This a fantastic result and bodes well for the next generation of church fund raising! (Where were these kids when stb400 started?).

Well done Junior Church.
