Thrift Shop
Thank you very much to those who have already offered their help to the Thrift Shop. They will be included in the new roster in 2012. We plan to have 2 teams, volunteers for the shop & serving and volunteers for sorting & pricing in our Asher Hall store room. A kind person with a trailer would be extremely helpful for occasional use to move surplus stock from the shop on the corner of Nelson Cres and Latham St to Asher Hall. Thank you so much. Please see Anne Silson – 844 8381 or Phyllis Jane – 843 0991 if you can help.

Thank you to all those who came along and helped decorate our lovely Christmas tree. What a blessed time we had.

Thank you to everyone who, when they borrow something from the church, make a note of it on the paper provided for that purpose by the hatch in the Parish office. This takes away unnecessary stress as items such as the laptop, kitchen items and music books can be easily located when they are required.

Napier Foodbank would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your wonderful support during the year. Without your generous donations we would not be able to help those in need. We hope you all have a lovely Christmas and a happy and healthy 2012.
