Summer Discovery

We are very excited about our 2007 Summer Discovery program
- ‘Discoverland’.
If you have any unused small mosaic
tiles that you no longer require we can
put them to good use.

Also we require new colourful crepe paper, wire coat hangers and gladwrap
or paper towel cylinders. These can be left in the box in the Western Room.

If you can assist in any way we would love to hear from you. Please see Ginny Brookes or leave a message at the Welcome Centre for more information.

Christmas Trees Needed!
Have you got a spare Christmas Tree lying around in a cupboard somewhere? For the Christmas Day service this year we will be using some trees to decorate the stage. If you have a spare that you would like to see feature onstage this Christmas, please let Caryn Rogers know by dropping a note in her pigeonhole at the Welcome Centre!
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Sermons on CD
Ever wanted to hear your favourite sermons again but don’t have a cassette deck at home? Good news! Hope Valley has upgraded its sermon recording system. You can now order sermons either on CD or Cassette for only $2 each. So why enjoy a sermon only once when you can have it to keep and play again and again, at your leisure?
Orders taken at the Welcome Centre.
TEAR Christmas Offering.
