EASTWOOD CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY AID
Did you notice the dip in the temperature during
the week? Your help is very welcome in building stocks of canned, warming foods
which will help those less fortunate than ourselves. Also remember that many
lonely people depend on their four-footed or bird friends for company and those
need feeding too.
Those
who would prefer to make a financial donation to Community Aid (amounts of
$2.00 or more are tax deductible) can be made using their website https://ccas.org.au/ or the form sent out last week.
Congregation AGM Postponement
That Marsden Road Church Council postpones the Congregational AGM due to the constraints placed on the Congregation by the Covid-19 pandemic until 28 February 2021, at the latest, by when it is hoped we will have been able to meet in a manner where all members have the opportunity to attend.
