Church Picnic 2009
We, as the Church, visited the Blair Drummond Safari Park, Stirling on the 22nd August 2009. We were blessed to be there on one of the warmest and best days of the year and this was a wonderful day for everyone to enjoy together and to know each other. We arranged a barbeque in the park and the kids absolutely enjoyed the fun rides and the animals. We hope to arrange more events like this in the future.
