Christmas Eve Carol Service
Today's the day to let go of all that pre-Christmas stress and connect with the meaning of Christmas. Why not come along to the Ashley Christmas Eve Carol Service. A short programme of readings and carols -
7 pm this evening at 39 Canterbury Street, Ashley.
The service will be lead by Paul Askin and our pianist will be Tony Gouedard. We expect to be finished by 8 pm and there is supper to follow. A couple of things to bear in mind are that we do not have a toilet so do 'go' before you come; and the grounds are very wet. Cars will be able to use the drive for drop off if necessary but all parking will be on the street today. Your donations received during the Collection will go towards the ongoing maintenance and restoration of our Category 2 Heritage Building.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
