Sunday 9th September was the International Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder awareness day (ninth day of the ninth month, related to the nine months of pregnancy).
The Department of Health & Social Development (DHSD) here in Makkovik partnered in the afternoon service.
At four intervals duringthe service, Elsie Evans, Community Health Worker, read out facts about FASD.
Afterwards a meal, prepared by DHSD, was shared in church.
