Welcome to our Notices for Friday the 25th of October.
Christmas Eve - Thoughts Needed. For many years we have held our Christmas Eve service at Clevedon at 11.30 pm. While this is a lovely service with the light of candles and the darkness of night, we have noticed that fewer people have been coming. So perhaps an earlier time might make it more accessible? Or would that detract from this special service? Please reply to this email with your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks - Martin
Community Lunch. Join us after 12 on Thursday, November the 7th, at the Clevedon Church lounge for a shared lunch a time of fellowship and a catch-up on the latest church news.
Angel Tree Gifts 2024
This year as part of our "loving others" theme we are providing meat vouchers ($25) for families in need from our wider community via Painga Project.
Either, choose a name from the tree in the Church & follow the instructions on the envelope.
Or we have a virtual Angel Tree, if you are interested in supporting this, please deposit your $25 donation to the church bank account: 12-3031-0057396-00 Clevedon Presbyterian Ref: Angel Tree, Code: Your phone number & Email Annemarie office@clevedonpresy.co.nz, who will send you a child’s name to remember in your prayers. The appeal will conclude at the end of November.
