December 3

Hi Everyone,

This Sunday

This week, Pastor Don Elliott will be preaching from Psalm 87 & Isaiah 55:1-5

Church Carols Service

Please invite friends and family we hope to see you there!

Christmas Eve/Christmas Day Service 

Thank you to everyone for your prompt responses to the survey regarding the time of the Christmas Eve service. The overwhelming vote was to keep the Sunday Service at 10:00am.

Therefore, please note that Sunday, December 24, the service, will be at 10:00am and that there will be no service on Christmas Day. The Sunday service will be a normal length service but with a Christmas Focus. Please think about inviting family and friends to this service or the Carols event on the 16th, or both!

Refresher Training

Everyone who is currently safe church approved in our congregation, every year needs to complete the Safe Church Refresher Course.

The Safe Church Refresher Course is a brief online presentation available at the PCV Safe Church YouTube Channel, designed to ensure adherence to Safe Church policy, procedure and practice. An offline version of the Safe Church Refresher Course is available for those people without access to the internet - contact the Safe Church Unit to have this directly posted by mail. Alternatively it can be downloaded HERE.

Click HERE for the online Safe Church Refresher Course - this link can be sent to people in your church via email so they can watch it for themselves.

Once you have completed the refresher course please email Holly Bligh, who is the Safe Church rep at EPC at administration@elthampc.org.au so she can record that you've completed it for this year.

Food Share

Thank you for sharing in this project either with non-perishable items or monetary donations.
As Christmas is generally a happy time for families, it would be great to donate some Christmas type items to our “Box”, to share with those who are in need of a little encouragement.
This includes things like mince pies, chocolates, Christmas biscuits, etc.
 
Our last collection date for items for the box is 17th December.
We will re-commence in February 2024.
 
With thanks
Lyn and Judy.
