Church@thepeak

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise to welcome the funding provided by the State Government to Church@thepeak in my electorate of Oatley. Church@thepeak is a growing congregation, and meets at Peakhurst South Public School. As a result of the increasing amount of young families in the area, the Church has recently started a playgroup for parents and toddlers for both church members and those in the broader community in order to promote social interaction amongst families. I am pleased that the State Government was able to provide $3,000 of funding to the Church to support this newly established playgroup. This grant will go towards the purchasing of toys and storage equipment. I would like to thank Reverend Stuart Maze for his advocacy in arranging this grant. Initiatives such as church playgroups are a fantastic way for community members to mingle and bond, and I look forward to seeing the success of this new project.
