Christmas Hampers - Extending Christmas to the Wider Community
Thanksgiving has come and gone, and Advent is fast approaching. With this festive season comes our annual Christmas Hampers program.
For approximately 20 years, Irene Pajot has been coordinating our hampers and she is retiring after this year. We need someone to fill this role in order to continue the program in 2017. If you are interested in taking on this coordinating position next year, please contact the church office. If you like, we would be happy to include you in this year's activities, to find out how things work and what is involved in the role. You can learn first hand from our 20 year expert, Irene, as she completes her final year of volunteering.
We are also in need of volunteers to help with various tasks, many of which are easy and not very time consuming. Anyone able to assist, please contact the church office or add your name to the sign-up list which will be at the back of the church in November. For more information, contact Sandra Witterick, Community Life Chairperson at sandra.witterick@gmail.com.
