Hi neighbours,

The clock is ticking (and no, we're not referring to the Christmas countdown!) - single-use plastic bags will be out of circulation from July 1, 2019.

All retailers, ie not just supermarkets, will no longer be able to sell or give away single-use plastic shopping bags after this date. To read more, click here.

Do you support the single-use plastic bag ban? How will the ban affect your life?

Have you already adapted to a plastic bag-free life or will this mean big changes in your household? What are your tips and tricks for ensuring the ban doesn't cause havoc when you hit the shops?

Welcome! Our doors are wide open for our 9.30am service on Tuesday, Christmas Day. 88 The Parade (100m city side of the shops). It's a friendly short service of celebration, and great for families, especially children.
If you have family from out of town, you're especially welcome. And if you only ever enter a church once a year, that's fine too!

Casual clothes, and kids can bring along their favourite gift. Let your children hear the nativity story so they get a sense of why Christmas is celebrated around the world. See you here!
