STREET PARTY OFFERING

This Sunday we will be holding a special offering to help cover some costs for the Street Party. 

TEAR GIFT STALL     

Finding it hard to buy gifts for others that they will appreciate?  Buy a card that literally changes the life of someone in the 3rd world.

This year we will hold a TEAR gift card stall on Sunday 7, 14 & 21 December in the Breezeway. Payment by card will be accepted.

Kids Quest Holiday Program

Our Kids Quest Holiday Program will be held in the next school holidays on Tuesday 20th January, from 9am – 3pm for 4-10 year olds. Save the date and there will be more details to follow. Also, we would love to have some more volunteers to help on the day – from high schoolers to adults. Please contact Sarah if you are interested (will need a WWCC). Email: sarah.ames@upbc.org.au

Westcare CHRISTMAS TOY APPEAL

From this Sunday until 7 December, we will be collecting toys to donate to Westcare Toy Appeal. These gifts of toys enable those who are finding it tough to choose a gift to give their children for Christmas. Please consider buying something over the next few weeks to contribute to the toy collection. Every gift helps share the joy and hope of Christmas with a child experiencing homelessness.

GIVE AWAY STAND UP PIANO

A member of the local community has reached out to the church office and offering a free stand up piano that is no longer needed.  If you are interested please contact Steve on 0409853689.
