Lutheran Care 12 Days of Giving

The families and students of Good Shepherd have always been generous at Christmas time in supporting the Lutheran Care Christmas Hampers. Lutheran Care’s Emergency Relief teams recently told us which items their pantries are running desperately low on and what is helpful for families in need at Christmas time. You can find these items listed in the accompanying poster. 

To get involved you are invited to find the items in your pantry or add an item to your shopping list, then send the donations to school with your child on the day listed on the poster. There will be reminders for item donations on Seesaw at the beginning of each week from Week 3 to Week 8. 

While Lutheran Care are listing 12 different items to be collected over the 12 Days of Giving, we understand that some families may not be able to stretch their budget this far and we are grateful for any donations you are able to give. We look forward to the front office being filled with Christmas Hamper donations.

KAPS Years 2-7 – Three sleeps to go!

Is just around the corner.   We are looking forward to some water activities, worship and conversation over a meal, so pop the details in your diaries now. If you have older siblings (Years 7-12) there is something for them too. I think we are in for more than just a splash of fun! Hoping to see you soon.

Coffee and Connect

How has your week been? Did you manage to get away for a few days, see any movies or catch up with friends?  I’m sure you have some stories to share! If you have a few minutes (or a lot of minutes) and you feel like meeting some people or reuniting with older friends, you are most welcome to pop into the Church Café tomorrow morning (Friday) 8:30am to 10:00am and share some tea/ coffee and conversation!

Why not invite someone along this week? You never know how you might change someone’s day (for the better) just by turning up and having a chat! Please enter via the courtyard. Toddlers are welcome (there is a small playground for them to play in; we just ask that you keep an eye on them for safety reasons).  

See you tomorrow!

Blessings,

Georgie
