CONSERVATION – Week 8. This week’s candidate is what I call burning carbon for pleasure. This includes driving for pleasure, flying for pleasure, power boating, spectating, ship cruises (horrible). What can you do? Cut back burning carbon for pleasure. Warren.

ROSTERS: The 2025 morning tea & door duty is now available, as well as a new Sunday roster. Please collect your copy today.

Sue is looking for the ‘wild’ cherry plums which are on trees now. They are a deep wine colour and about the size of a $1 – $2 coin. The leaves are also the same deep wine colour. Often planted in older properties/suburbs.

Be creative for Christmas – help us decorate the Christmas Tree this year, with DIY Festive Stars. Colourful Christmas wrapping paper is ideal – use two sheets, back-to-back, so the star can be viewed from both sides. Attach some string or cotton thread so it can be tied to the tree, or looped over a branch. Bring your stars anytime after 30 Nov. Instructions for the stars and some examples are in the foyer. Worship Committee.

Christmas Gifts for Waltham Cottage: Please bring along suitable new gifts for boys, girls, teenagers and adults and place them under the Christmas tree in the church on Sundays 1st & 8th December. Donations of wrapping paper also appreciated.

Seniors’ Communion Service Wednesday 11th December 2pm – bring a friend and enjoy singing and listening to some Christmas music. Afternoon tea will follow. All are welcome.
