Back in 1964, when the Yokine Uniting Church was young, they had a large Sunday School with the juniors and intermediates meeting in the hall and the kindergarten children meeting in the kindergarten building across the road.
The minister at the time was Rev Syd Saggers and his wife, Jessie, noticed that most of the young women would dash across the road straight after church to pick up their children from the kindergarten building without getting a chance to know one another. There was an afternoon fellowship but many of the women couldn’t attend at this time. Jessie decided to start an evening group so the young women could meet, worship and socialise together whilst husbands were on babysitting duties.
