GOOS Group

This year at Goos Group we have had a great time. We meet on Monday nights from 5-6pm in the church lounge. We do various activities such as swimming, ice skating (in which we had to teach TWO parents to skate-AKA Vicky and Sherie), pictures, bowling and lazer quest. We also have arranged some fundraising events such as the breakfast run, pop idol puppets and the fashion show. Mary and Joan run Goos Group, and we would like to thank them very, very, very much.

So why don’t you come along to G o o s Group

Mums

I'd had a pretty hectic day with my four-year-old. When bed-time finally came, I laid down the law: "We're putting on your nightgown, brushing your teeth, and reading ONE book. Then it's lights out!"

In response, she slipped her arms around my neck in a gentle embrace, and said, "We learned in Sunday school about little boys and girls who don't have mummies and daddies." Even after I'd been such a grouch, I thought, she was still grateful to have me. I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes, and then she whispered, "Maybe you could go be their mum?"
