Opening Ceremony

August 20, 2024/Hannah Stirling/

Hi, we hope you are well.

In this update, we are now officially opened!

Opening Ceremony

The opening ceremony was held on the 17th of August. It was a time to thank all of the volunteers and their families. Shing put together a slideshow of photos of all the people that helped.

After speeches, a song and prayer, everyone talked, ate the delicious afternoon tea and enjoyed the afternoon, although it wasn’t very bright because the power went out!

We also had an amazing cake made by Kelsi Zwies for the opening. It was a great afternoon.

Opening Sale 22-24 August

    Hello to the Most Amazing Young Stirling Family –
    Thank you for sharing this opening ceremony with me. I have so thoroughly enjoyed attending your opening ceremony virtually. I continue to spread the word to some of my friends who come from Timaru.
    May Father God Almighty continue to BLESS YOU EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY in Pure Books, homeschooling, accounting, community and etc that you put your hands to. What a joy and a privilege to watch your lives enfold.
    Much love from Waikato.
    In the Mighty Name of King Yeshua
    Shalom. Shalom
