OPPORTUNITIES TO
Celebrate + be generous
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The lights, the sounds, the mince pies… it really is a season of celebration. And yet, in the midst of the celebrations are those who struggle silently, unable to lavish gifts and meals upon loved ones.
We want to invite people both to celebrate and serve our communities this Christmastime. Find out what’s going on below!
Be Generous:
Christmas Together
On Christmas Day we are hosting a family Christmas meal complete with food, games and gifts for those who would otherwise find Christmas Day difficult – but there is plenty we can do to help! Email Andrew Masson for more details.
