Hi folks, Welcome to the Hutt City Salvation Army. Today I am following on from my last message, also about Daniel and have entitled it, 'The lurking lions.' The story of Daniel and the lion's den is one of the most well known stories in the Bible. It is a classic good against evil scenario where God's man has victory and a different outcome ensues. I don't imagine many of us have been thrown into a real lion's den but just doing 'life' can have us feeling almost as vulnerable. If you feel like you are in the lion's den at the moment, we would love to support you. Blessings, Stephen Crump Major

Or get tickets in person from our friends at Little Café (2 Queens Drive) Celebrate the festive season with a feel good, family comedy at Lower Hutt’s iconic Little Theatre with Mrs Merry’s Christmas Concert, written and performed by Geraldine Brophy. Brophy stars as Mrs Merry, a relief teacher for Room 7 whose usual teacher, the beloved Mrs Dawson, has suddenly gone into labour on the Hutt motorway. It is the eve of their end of year school concert and Mums, Dads, and family members are gathered to see their six-year-old darlings explain the meaning of Christmas through song and dance . . . and mayhem! Mrs Merry’s Christmas Concert will be fundraising for The Salvation Army Lower Hutt and their Christmas Food Bank with a $20 Preview performance 7.30pm Tuesday 15 December – all tickets are door sales only. All sales from this show will go directly to the Sallies.

People have been so generous to help out our kids from around the world to have an awesome Christmas. We are not far off out total amount needed for all the kids, so if you have wanted to donate some funds to the kids and haven’t got round to it - now is the time!
