with us for a number of years, in recent times she was unable to attend meetings due to ill health. We have extended our condolences to her family, Mark, Richard, Suzette and Samantha, and their families. May the Lord comfort them with the power of His saving grace.   Alvin Stevens Greytown ASSEMBLY We celebrated Christmas in July this year and, on arrival at Hill-View, we were greeted by fairy lights, festive Tea Cloths, a wonderful atmosphere and coloured flashing lights at the front of the church, which was bursting at the seams! We were truly blessed to have Craig and Craige and their amazing support team share their musical talents with us. Much laughter and fun was had by all - and the most delicious festive cookies, strawberries and cream, chocolate cake and hot chocolate were greatly enjoyed, with popcorn as popular as always. Twelve Days of Christmas was great fun for all participating in singing about turtle doves, maids-a-milking, golden rings and a partridge in a pear tree! Perhaps the rest of the congregation thought we had missed our vocations! The singers looked very festive in their red Christmas caps. Younger folk got to participate with shakers and tambourines - the littlest, 3-yr-old Hope, was ever so cute! 15
