Uniting Church open on Christmas
THE Uniting Church Hall in Camperdown will be opening its doors to those seeking some company on Christmas Day for the return of the Christmas Open Door event.
The event, which will run from 10am-3pm at 41-43 Barkly Street, will see residents invited to join together and celebrate Christmas.
Organiser Andrea Bell said she and partner Tim O’Sullivan saw a need last year to provide a space for people to come together at Christmas.
“There are a lot of people who are alone on Christmas Day – whether it’s because their families live interstate, they have sickness or are battling health conditions or even overseas worker,” she said.
“It’s been a pretty tough year in this area due to having drought and certainly financial challenges in the region as well.”
The free, family-friendly event will follow the same format as last year, including morning tea, a barbecue and sweets.
“The day will open at 10am for morning tea,” Ms Bell said.
“We will be having cold lunch and a barbecue.
“There will also be a visit form Santa and some live music.
Bookings are preferred for catering purposes, but not essential, and can be made by contacting Ms Bell on 0419 931 709.
