Churches combine for Easter activities

Volunteers from several different churches coordinated several Easter events at Tumby Bay.

An Easter trail was organised for children and their families on Palm Sunday, following on from the successful event held in 2023.

Some of the activities included making Easter crafts and ‘fishing’ on land.

Tumby Bay Interchurch Council also hosted the annual Easter Sunday sunrise service, which was attended by 60 people – including a number of visitors to the town.

The service was led by Emmy Hennell from the Tumby Bay Catholic community and at the conclusion of this special time everyone waited in anticipation for the sun to rise over the sea.

A Good Friday service was held at Tumby Bay Church of Christ and the regular 10am Sunday service held as a combined service at Tumby Bay Uniting Church.
