Notices 1 September – 8 September

Council of Assembly correspondence: Parish Council has received a letter regarding the Abuse in Care Report from the Royal Commission, which notes the steps being taken by the Presbyterian Church in response to the Report.  Copies of the letter are available from the Bryndwr and Papanui offices and on the noticeboards there.  If you would like an emailed copy sent to you please email Tracey at papanui@villagechurch.nz

The Village Market Each first Saturday of the month in our Bryndwr building, we run a pop-up market.     It continues to be a place where people gather to buy, catch up, donate or just hang out together. There is a group who meet to knit & chat and there’s great coffee available.

The market has a focus of good quality second-hand household goods, toys, books; and from time-to-time, baking, jams, plants and our existing pre-loved clothing shop.  As with our clothing shop, we rely on the community to donate goods. Please do let us know if you’re having a clean out, downsizing or simply having a change around, we are happy to pick up & collect! Please contact the Bryndwr Office at 351 6664 for more information.
