This year Holy Trinity, Yarram is trying something a bit different to get ready for Christmas. On Sunday 3^rd December at our 10.30am service you are invited to join us as we get together to prepare for the season by making and doing things together. You might like to help decorate our Advent Wreath, or make a decoration for the Anglicare Giving Tree or learn a Song for the Season or make a Gratitude Tree, or maybe you would like to make a Take-home Advent Wreath. These things will form the first part of our gathering and then we will join together for a simple time of worship. Later there will be the opportunity for morning tea together.

We hope that this event ‘Advent for All’ will be a way for everyone, the young and the young at heart to enjoy a time of creativity, worship and fellowship.
