MONTVILLE UNITING Church’s annual Christmas display will this year focus on the work of Act for Peace and the Christmas Bowl with a thought provoking exhibition.
Through posters, banners, DVDs and stories about real people facing real challenges, The Gifts of Life exhibit will emphasise those gifts that make a difference in their lives: shelter, security, clean water, food, seeds, health, education, skills training, peace and justice.
The church will have a handmade refugee tent inside the church hall and on the front lawn.
In addition there will be three decorated trees – a tree of peace, a tree of the gifts of life and a tree decorated by Montville school children on a theme of hope.
Montville’s small congregation receives wonderful support from members of the Maleny and Nambour Uniting Churches in
mounting this display.
Last year, over 1000 visitors visited the church’s display.
The exhibit will be open to the public from 11–23 December, from 10am until 3.30 pm.
