A prize-giving ceremony will take place at 11am and a thanksgiving service by Minister Reverend Craig Morrison at 11.30am.
The church in involved in the development of sports, through sport coaching, that started in 2011 at Randpark High School where Allan Flint, their youth director coaches hockey and tennis to various teams throughout the year.
