Anglicare Toys ‘n’ Tucker
This Christmas, we’re collecting food and gifts for those who are doing it tough. Our partnership with Anglicare’s “Toys ‘n’ Tucker” aims to share the joy of Christmas with families who would otherwise go without.
Even the smallest donation can make the biggest impact!
Please consider what you can donate for this great ministry. We currently have very few donations and time is running out! Anglicare will be coming to collect our donations soon!
All donations can be dropped off in the church hall ready for boxing up and collecting.

Up to the end of last month, we needed to have received $273,000. Compared to that total we received $245,588, leaving a gap of $27,412.
Electronic giving is a great way to give! It helps us prayerfully plan our giving, and then the bank will help us keep that commitment, even when we may be unable to attend.
