We give thanks for the life of Bill Irvine, who died on 26th November, and pray for Isobel and his family and friends as they mourn. We remember his music ministry here at St Martins for 30+ years – for the tremendous contribution to the parish that he gave so willingly. Rest eternal grant unto him, O Lord.

CONSERVATION – Week 9. This week’s conservation suggestion is to live close to where you work or commonly travel to. Our church’s biggest carbon footprint is from our transport to church. This will be especially true with solar added to our church. What can you do? If it is not practical to shift, try ride sharing. warren.pettigrew@raztec.co.nz

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.

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 by 8th December. Donations of wrapping paper also appreciated.
