In May 2011 Mainly Music turned 5. That means for 5 years Riccarton Baptist has been serving families with young children in the community – through a fun, weekly music session – a time when adults and children can chill out.

For that time Kathryn Brown has been creatively leading the programme each week, Janet Avery has been part of the team for that time and Lylie Ross in charge of the morning tea until the end of last year. We honour and thank them.

Jo Hood International Director of Mainly Music had this to say:

Congratulations on turning 5! Over the years, as a team, you have sought to profile and applaud the role of parenting, and in particular what it takes to be a mum. You’ve spent countless hours making, baking and the like to bring families gifts of appreciation – gifts that say, ‘you’ve important, you’ve valued’.
