If you would like to purchase a $25 Warehouse Voucher on behalf of a prisoner for their child, please select a name off the board at the side of the church.  Warehouse vouchers can be purchased through Countdown or The Warehouse.  Please return the voucher together with the Angel Tree tab in an envelope on Sunday, 27 November.  For the child receiving the gift voucher it shows that their Mum or Dad hasn't forgotten them and still cares about them.  For more information contact Maree ph 938 7864.
