Off-court with the Sunshine Girls

As the Sunshine Girls prepare to participate in the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, later this month, the Netball Jamaica family and sponsors Beryllium joined in worship at St George’s Anglican Church, East Street, Kingston, on Sunday.

The worship service was officiated by Rev Canon Denzil Barnes, acting priest-in-charge, who offered special prayers for the efforts of the team as they work to represent the nation at this level. Barnes urged the team to harness their talents in praise and always prioritise doing right, as did Mary, sister of Martha, as recorded in the gospel of Luke 10: 38-42.

Tricia Robinson, president, Netball Jamaica, thanked all Jamaica for the continued support of the programme and committed the team to working hard at achieving the highest level of success.
