Face-painting and woodcraft never stopped. Excitement built up with the colourful parachute games and the strongly contested boys versus girls Tug-of-War (better luck next time girls), climaxing with the Monster Easter Egg Hunt.
It was a great atmosphere celebrating the new life we can have in Christ.
This year for the first time we were joined by the Griffith Regional Art Gallery who held their Free Family Fun Day in conjunction with the Easter Brunch.
Their input took the craft and art on offer to a new level, with Aerosol Art, Egg emoji, Origami and jewellery making hugely popular.
Volunteers from the Combined Churches of Griffith and Fusion Riverina worked very hard preparing and serving the food, painting young faces, supervising the crafts, organising the games and performing on the stage.
We definitely need more volunteers next year to lighten the load.
The Brunch is generously sponsored by over a dozen local businesses every year and we would like to say a big thankyou to them: The Area News, AxiKem, Big Springs Water, Broome's Fruit and Vegies, Baker's Delight, MIA Party Hire, McNabb Caltex, Murrumbidgee Dairy, Pops Tomato Sauce, Real Juice Co, Rossies Supermarket, Vaccari's Bakery and WIN TV.
Many thanks to all involved for making the Easter Brunch on Banna possible, so the churches of Griffith can bless the families of Griffith at Easter time.

WILL THE NSW PREMIER BE GOVERNING FOR ALL?
During her recent visit to Deniliquin, the Premier Gladys Berejiklian stated that she will be governing for all of us.
Unfortunately, that includes the 435,000 Green voters in NSW opposed to irrigated agriculture and forestry; and there are a lot more of them than us.
All Premier Berejiklian's decisions (ie; decisions of the Liberal/National party) will be based on what will gain the most votes, so the math's is easy to calculate.
All her decisions will favour the Greens over the people in the irrigated agriculture and forestry industries.
Politics is numbers, and the numbers in NSW either opposed or ambivalent toward irrigated agriculture and forestry are politically insurmountable.
The only way to achieve a satisfactory political result is to form a Riverina state separate from NSW.
Decisions can then be made by people living in the Riverina that will benefit irrigated agriculture and forestry, and by extension benefit all the people in that state.
This cannot be done under the domination of the much larger population in Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong.
The people in the Riverina need to form a Riverina state.
The continued dereliction of NSW politicians is proving its necessity - and ensuring its certainty.
