We are appealing for help from our parishioners in joining our team preparing morning tea and cleaning up afterwards. Our current members have almost all been members for many years, and they would appreciate the help of quite a few volunteers. At the moment, most are on duty on a five to six week roster, and we would like to extend this to eight or nine weeks to allow a decent break between duty days. ANY NEW MEMBERS would be welcome with open arms. PLEASE CONTACT WENDY ARMSTRONG IF YOU CAN ASSIST. ********************** Mothers Union Christmas Cards NOW $6.50 per packet.

Non perishable foods such as tinned hams, puddings & cakes, as well as tinned fish, pasta & cereal would be much appreciated by the volunteers who work so hard in order that the less fortunate may share a little in the joys of Christmas. Goods and cash donations can brought to the Church or left in the office. We have a Christmas cake to raffle for St Alban s made by Sherry Mackay who is renowned for her cakes, and tickets can be purchased from Leigh Mackay, Helen Baddeley or from the Office.
