The annual Christmas Lunch was held in the Damschke Hall this week. The hall looked lovely with its christmas decorations, the company was notably jovial, and the food - the food was delicious, particularly the desserts! During the lunch, Pastor Clem was presented with a book voucher as a thank you for the use of his auditing skills during the year and Jan was given the honour of cutting the cake.

Bethlehem Wagga played host to the Combined Churches Christmas Concert on Monday. Over seventy people attended from denominations all over Wagga. Eight performances of skits and songs were given, some with a Christmas theme, some without, all performed with an enthusiasm that was lovely to see.

And as well as speaking on the work of the Christian Education Team , Liz acted as MC for the event (armed with the obligatory Christmas jokes of a certain standard).
