A CORRECTION and a REMINDER from Mission Group:  Last week our notices reported that the ‘Buy and Supply’ collected money would go to the Leprosy Mission, actually it should have said it would go to Grandparents looking after grandchildren.  From this   Sunday till near Christmas there will be a carton in each foyer for Women’s Refuge gifts. This organisation has been extremely grateful for our previous donations, and this time would prefer something for 3 – 8 year old children.  Here are some ideas that might help:  Colouring books and felt pens / puzzles / toys and possibly children’s underwear.    Thanks Elaine F.Christmas Carols in the gardens:     Thursday, 15 December 7 – 8.30  Free Admission Join us at the Rotunda.  Timaru Botanic Gardens.
