Got any dusty DUPLOs or leftover LEGOS?


The new Advent Festival event is still a few months away but will be here before we know it. You might have heard Pastor Peter is making a LEGO Christmas Village. It takes a lot of LEGOs and DUPLOs to create a village, so if you have any bricks or minifigures gathering dust in a corner somewhere, all donations are appreciated. If you have any questions, please email Pastor Peter.
