Gippsland Parish Summer Sizzler
Our annual Summer Sizzler was held at Sale on Saturday 1st February, and was attended by 26 adults & 2 children from across the Gippsland Lutheran Parish. A wonderful day of fun, fellowship and entertainment was enjoyed by all. More about food to come!!
It was lovely having Pastor Bob Wiebusch in our midst. Pastor Tony Castle was also able to spend a day of his LSL with us, which was great. After all, Tone’s Tones are part of the day!
Pastor Tony encouraged all who wanted to participate in the thong throw competition. Young James was among the keen competitors, but it was Maria Gerlach who took the honours!!
A delicious barbeque & salads spread was enjoyed (thanks for cooking, Daina and Chris), but we also made sure we had room for the “main event”!! There was a wonderful array of scrumptious desserts from which to choose, and many of us went back for 2nd (maybe even 3rd) servings!
Michael tried his best by adding mint to garnish his green jelly this year, but it was the pavlova attracting the most $’s! The generous donations for attending Summer Sizzler, and toward voting for desserts, meant that the amazing amount of $2,500 will go to support the worthy cause of Australian Lutheran World Service.
Following lunch we were entertained by “Tone’s Tones and Grove’s Grones”, who also challenged us with various song quizzes.
David’s talent shone through when he brought the tuba alive during his musical item, and Robert had us guessing with his jokes.
Thank you to everyone for making it such a special and richly blessed day!!
