Welcome to Hutt City Salvation Army. Christmas is now only seven weeks away - next month in fact. This morning I want to share some thoughts around the theme of 'Overcoming fear.' For some, the thought of Christmas may be something they fear. They are not prepared for the expense or the stress or the feelings of inadequacies of other's expectations. Sometimes our fears are real and yet other times, they are irrational and unnecessary. Either can have the same debilitating effect. About the only thing God would want us to be fearful about, is not having an appropriate relationship with Him. May God bless you as we come together to hear what God is saying to us in the 'stuff' we are going through today. Blessings, Stephen Crump Major

Dear Sponsor, First I salute you in the name of Jesus Christ. I hope you are fine with your family. I take this opportunity to say thank you for your gift that you have been sending to me since I was sponsored. When I got the gift my father bought me a goat and school uniform. I am saved and I go to Sunday school, even I am a Sunday school teacher and I even go to choir. I am now in class seven and do well in my studies. We did an open exam, I became position eleven of of 109. I scored 328 and I was very happy. Last but not least, thank you for your friendly letter. May God bless your job. Yours faithfully Musyoka

It’s that time of the year again when we are thinking about gifts for those special people in our lives, both family and friends. Would you help us to send a Christmas gift of $20 to each of our cherished young people. As this is extra to our weekly collection for the children would you please place your gift money in a marked envelope. A tax receipt is available for all gifts over $5. Write your full name and amount on the envelope of a separate slip of paper. Every dollar helps. Cherish Our Children envelopes are available in the foyer and at the front of church. Eftpos is also available in the foyer after our Sunday service.

\ Check out the gift chart at the rear of the auditorium. Every $20 will place a gift on the chart. Have you thought of sending a Christmas card to one (or more) of the children, Gay Buchanan would be happy to give you the contact details.
