The festival program is on from Monday 4th Dec through to Friday 15th Dec (excluding Sunday). Hours 10am and 4pm.
We will be serving morning and afternoon teas (tea or coffee, plus Christmas cake or shortbread all for $5) in the hall. The proceeds from the gifts and decorations in our Christmas Shop all go to local charities.
The program of choirs and entertainers at 10.30am in the church is as follows:

They all appreciate an audience, plus it’s a great way to celebrate the real spirit of Christmas!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
