We are saddened by the passing of one of our longstanding and hardest working volunteers – Winsome Menzies.
Since 2005 until about 2 years ago (15 years) Winsome has made thousands of library bags, dresses for little girls, hankies, marble bags, petticoat skirts with great gusto and enthusiasm. She worked for long hours into the night sewing these items.
She also raised funds for the many purchases through her bridge clubs and family and friends. She organised an annual fund raising concert put on by ‘Loosely Woven’ a local group in the early years. Thousands of Sri Lankan children have benefited from Winsome’s efforts to gain a better education and thereby change their future! She was an inspiration to all who were privileged to meet her ‘in action’ for such a worthy cause.
We give thanks to God for her love, support and enthusiasm to help many disadvantaged children in poor rural communities in Sri Lanka.
A ‘Thanksgiving Service’ is being held on Monday 27th June at 1 pm at Forest Baptist Church, 617 Warringah Road Forestville 2087. All are welcome to attend.
Note: The service will be livestreamed on www.ffbc.org.au at 1pm AEST. If you log in too early you are likely to get previous services.
