2011 Christmas Celebrations in Dapto
1 month ago
Christmas
in Dapto was great! And we celebrated Christ’s birth in many various ways with our community.
Our Annual Community Carols in the Showground had to quickly find another place as the Showground and its surrounds was so wet under foot. A bit of a logistical headache for a few, but their work meant we all enjoyed a wonderful celebration of Christmas.
The week before Christmas saw DAC members providing a gift wrapping service to Dapto Mall’s shopping customers at the Mall’s invitation. Each day saw in
teresting shapes providing new challengers for the wrappers!
It is a privilege to partner with the Dapto Mall in this service.
Dapto Mall invited us to entertain the shoppers on Thursday 15th December. Our dance group ’Rockstars’ were fantastic, we had some Christmas songs, face painting and crafts for any who needed a break from shopping.
One shopper asking lots of questions about our dance group, could his children join, as it was very obvious how much fun the children had. What a great testimony to Karoleena & her team.
Our Young Adults Group were out and about in the streets of Dapto, Carolling in the evenings.
This has become such a popular event. Our community are quick to book in their street for a visit as soon as the announcement is made.
Our Young Adults made a visit to St. Luke’s Village for a Carolling session too.
Then there was the Ch
ristmas Star. I could go on for ages about this spectacular! You were promised one and you got one! A show to beat all shows, with Jesus being revealed as the true star of Christmas, much to the bemusement of other great stars! Then there was a Christmas feast, chicken & ham & baked veges followed by pavlova. I think Jill and her team feed 400 of us! And for the little ones, a petting farm, Christmas crafts and face painting and more. It was fantastic and a great way to celebrate Jesus birth.
Young Adults Carolling adventures!

Precious Feedback
2 months ago
Today’s surveys are part of a national process that is now into its 3rd decade. Every five years church people from every denomination are asked for their opinions. It is the most comprehensive infor
mation system amongst church people anywhere in the world.
What do we do with this precious feedback?
It is used by Christian leaders to understand their people better. It helps us work out our strengths and weaknesses. It identifies opportunities. The results help us know where we need to improve and where we can praise God for his work.
Please take the time to fill in the survey as every opinion matters. When the experiences of each unique person are combined we learn where patterns of behaviour exist or not. The results inform our prayers and challenges our preconceptions.
Stephen Semenchuk
Senior Pastor.
PS For those who miss out on Sunday …..
please come down to the office and fill out a survey during the week.
