The Avatele Church building was first opened and dedicated in 1973 and renamed Sinai 2.
They renovated it and also refurbished the pews inside. Atoa Talagi and his team led this very important task. They did an awesome job!
The whole village got together to celebrate and invited many guests from around the Island to join them.
Plenty of awesome food was laid out for everyone to enjoy and take home.
Performances were held where the singing and dancing are passed on from the old to the newer generations so our culture will continue to live on.
Job well done Avatele!🔥👌💯
