Friends,

the latest MtE news update:

1. Our service this Sunday Dec 20th will be a service of Advent-themed readings and carols, featuring most of our cantors as soloists and an impromptu choir!
2. The previously announced congregational meeting on our MtE Futures Project (property and resources assessment) planned for this Sunday will now no longer take place as there is not sufficient new information to warrant convening a meeting. The next scheduled meeting on the Project is March 21, although Church Council may convene another meeting in February if sufficient information comes to hand to justify it.
3. Act for Peace’s Christmas Bowl appeal is now underway; more information here.
4. Some might be interested in a couple of Advent Taize events in Melbourne in the next week or so.
5. The most recent Synod e-Newsletter (Dec 11) is here.
6. Our Christmas service times are here.
7. Super-advanced notice for next year:

a. Our Lenten Studies begin Feb 17; more info is available here.

b. Congregational picnic after worship Sunday March 6
