Also, we can sample some Christmas treats from different countries, as well as kiwi treats for supper. Please come with your daughters and consider inviting a friend as well. Again, this year we will be contributing treats and children's gifts to the Food Bank - that you can bring on the night.

Guess Who Is Coming To Lunch?
Our next lunch is set for Sunday, 9th November.
Guess Who's Coming to Lunch is an opportunity for people at HBC to have lunch and fellowship with one another in smaller groups. The mystery is that you won't know whose home you will have lunch at, or who the other guests will be. You will, however, receive an email a day or two prior to the luncheon with the necessary details.

Sign-up sheets for hosts and guests will be available in the church foyer after tomorrow's morning service. Do come and join us!

Chapter Chat is a ladies' book club that meets on Saturday mornings bi-monthly. Meeting in one another’s homes, we enjoy coffee, conversation, and plenty of laughter as we share reflections and discuss theology. Chapter Chat is a space not only for thoughtful discussion but also for friendship—a place where we can grapple with ideas together, ask questions, and gently challenge one another’s perspectives as we grow in understanding and faith. Soon we will begin our next book - Prayer by Timothy Keller. Keep a lookout for the church bulletin, which will have specific meeting details.
