Activities stop for summer recess
Most activities at Umina and Ettalong Uniting church halls will close for a summer holiday recess, according to church secretary Ms Annette Strong.
"Some activities will recommence mid-January such as classes for tai chi, gentle over 50s exercises and weekly Unitingcare Healthy Living for Seniors classes.
"Programs involving children will resume in early February after school holidays."
Ms Strong said the local church community was looking forward to celebrating Christmas with a special event on December 24.
"At Umina, on Christmas Eve, there will be a barbecue from 5pm followed with a short children's Christmas play and Carols by Glowstix from 6.30pm," Ms Strong said.
"A gold coin donation would be appreciated.
"As the birth of Jesus Christ is celebrated, an invitation is extended to all to attend one of our Christmas Day services.
"The first service on the day will be held from 8am at Umina with Rev Dr Peter Swain followed by a 9am service at Ettalong with Rev Alan Goodwin."
