🎄 Christmas Day – an FYI 🎄

If you’re thinking about Christmas Day and wondering where you might go, here’s a community option you might like to know about.

St Peter’s in the City will be putting on a free Christmas Day dinner for anyone who’d like to come along for kai and company.

📍 St Peter’s in the City, Spring Street
📅 Christmas Day (25 Dec)
🕔 5–7pm

Some of our people have gone in past years — it’s a welcoming space if you don’t want to spend the day on your own.

“Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa.”
Let us keep close together, not far apart.
