CONSERVATION – Week 6. Top of the carbon footprint for food is beef. Not too hard to reduce your beef consumption 50%. Next is sheep meats. Pork and chicken have a much lower footprint. There is quite a bit of variation depending how animals are farmed. Beef grown in unfertilised high country will have a lot lower footprint than grain-fed animals but still will be bad.
Cook N Save class – would you or someone you know like to make their money go further in and out of the kitchen? Come along to St Mark’s Church, 101 Opawa Rd on Tuesday 28th November 9.30am-12.30pm. Email opawa.stmartins@gmail.com to book a spot.
Be creative for Christmas – help us decorate the Christmas Tree this year, with DIY Festive Stars. Colourful Christmas wrapping paper is ideal – use two sheets, back-to-back, so the star can be viewed from both sides. Attach some string or cotton thread so it can be tied to the tree, or looped over a branch. Bring your stars anytime after 30 Nov. Instructions for the stars and some examples are in the foyer. Worship Committee.
Christmas Gifts for Waltham Cottage: Please bring along suitable new gifts for boys, girls, teenagers and adults and place them under the Christmas tree in the church on Sundays 1st & 8th December. Donations of wrapping paper also appreciated.
MOVIE NIGHT Saturday 16th November 5.15pm: Carousel (1956) is an American drama fantasy musical film based on the 1945 Rodgers & Hammerstein stage musical of the same name, which in turn was based on Ferenc Molnár‘s 1909 non-musical play Liliom. The film stars Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones and was directed by Henry King. As with the original stage production, the film contains some of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most famous songs. BYO takeaways for tea. Hot drinks provided.
