E-BLAST - THURS 12 APRIL 2018

2018 CoolyRocksOn Church Service - Sun 10 June - big news - after 4 years of running this nostalgic Rock 'n Roll festival with an amazing crowd each year who come to the church service - Delma and I met with the (Coolangatta) Twin Towns Uniting Church minister the Rev Marian Z on Thursday to hand over the reigns. Mark rang Marian 4 weeks back, we found a date to meet. The South Gold Coast Tourism who run the CoolyRocksOn Festival have recognised Mark for his 4 years running the CoolyRocksOn Church Service.
8 years ago the Anglican church who ran it closed (asbestos). The church service fell into abeyance, three years later a CoolyRocksOn board member (a taxi driver) who was bringing us home from the airport after another mission, asked Mark to resurrect it. The Festival Director met with Mark and it was given the green light. It was held in a marquee. An amazing story. Bill Parr from our church helped me on the day greeting people. There was enormous internal stress upon Mark in seeing it all come to fruition each year and Mark says it was time to pass it on. Ken Harris' band the Sun Chasers has been asked to continue with the CoolyRocksOn church service.
