Over the Advent and Christmas season there is plenty of pressure to spend up large for things we (and others) don't really need with money we don't necessarily have

We hope this year that you keep an eye out out for ethical gifts that make a real difference, such as what is provided by Christian World Service or similar organisations who rely on support from those who have a lot (that's you and me) to bring life and hope to many who have little or nothing.

Have a look at our Deepening Faith page, which, among other things, has links to Advent and Christmas resources and ideas that can make a difference. We all know that at this time of year (or any time) the biggest impact is our presence and kindness to others... very much as Christ did, was and is for our world.

If you do need to get supplies or small gifts for people around you, we do have something that may help a little. The Dunedin Diocesan Trust Board (DDTB) holds some shares in the Warehouse Group, and they are passing on a special Christmas offer for all in the Diocese of Dunedin. You (and your family and friends) are invited to Special Shopping Days across The Warehouse Group on Monday 11th and Tuesday 12th of December 2023.

Why not take a note of any savings you may make and "pass it on" to others in real need......
