The church played a big part in our lives: Pam Koeneman

Auntie Pam Koeneman remembers life at La Perouse Reserve. She was born on Grant St and played with the many children living on Tasman St (although not part of the mission was still part of the community). The church (filmed) was an important part of life with Sunday school and Christian Endeavour groups as well as cooking classes and a choir that let her visit and sing in other churches around Sydney.
