Here at Highgate we welcome, celebrate and value each person. We also believe that children are a vital part of the life and worship of this community. Our Kids@ Highgate programme runs each week during term time. Children start off in church and after the children’s address they head out to Kids @ located in the hall.
MEG A warm welcome to Monday mornings, 10.30–12noon in the sunny corner of the hall to meet with others and reflect on a series “Encounters with Christ, then and now.” We will meet here in the mornings throughout the winter, and our theme adapts well for those just wanting to come at times rather than long term. Morning tea is included. Any enquiries to Celia Paulin 474 1511 or Gwenyth Wilson 464 0967
APW Last Sunday we had our retiring offering, which for 2010

GREAT NEWS FROM THE CHURCH LIBRARY for the winter months!
We’ve had a real “sort out” and have purchased several new books which we hope you will enjoy. We appreciate any feedback or reviews from you the readers. Today we are holding a reading session for the children during morning tea to introduce some delightful new acquisitions for younger readers. We hope you can peruse the books on the foyer table and enjoy the Library in the future.
Beth Scarlet and Celia Paulin.
