TTHA CHRISTMAS BAZAAR – Wednesday 25^th November from 10:00am

A Christmas Bazaar will be held in the foyer of the Tabulam & Templer Homes.

There will be a lovely range of hand-embroidered tablecloths, handmade Christmas decorations, handicrafts and Gutsle. These are always very popular, beautiful to keep or make great presents. So come and bring your friends!

Also, as per last year, the coffee lounge will open in the morning especially for you. So after your shopping you can relax with a coffee and cake, or bread and pretzels will also be available.

Thank you for your support,

Helga Kuerschner, for the Handcraft Group

ADVENTSKRANZ  MAKING – 27^th November

29^th November is the first Sunday in Advent, and it is time to once again consider whether you wish to make an Adventskranz out of cypress branches. My mother Heidi and I are happy to help anyone make an Adventskranz on Friday 27^th November at 7:00pm at the Caretaker’s residence.

Bookings with Renate are essential to ensure that there are enough materials for all. If you have the ring, candle holders and ribbon from last year, please bring them. If you are a ‘newcomer’, there will be a charge for these materials, which are then reusable (as long as you remember where you put them after Christmas!).

ADVENT CELEBRATION IN BENTLEIGH – Sunday 6^th December

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at our Advent celebration in Bentleigh. The program will start at 2:30pm and will be in English and German. The bus will travel from Bayswater, leaving at 1:30pm outside TTHA. Bookings for the bus must be made with the Office on 9557 6713.

Advent Donations

We have had a number of people making wonderful items for the bazaar, and welcome donations of lots more. You may wish to make food items for the bazaar – they are always popular – but please remember to include the ingredients on the packaging. You may also have home-made jams and pickles that you are happy for us to sell.

Donations of Christmas cookies (Gutsle) – we can never have too many – would be greatly appreciated, also items for raffle prizes are always gratefully received. These and any craft items can be left at the Temple Society Office, 152 Tucker Road Bentleigh, or at Renate and Tony Beilharz’s, 51 Elizabeth Street Bayswater, prior to Wednesday 26^th November. Bazaar items may be brought on the day, but they must be priced.

Gutsle Packaging – Saturday 5^th December 2:00pm in the Bentleigh Hall

Some assistance to pack what we hope will be lots and lots of Gutsle would be appreciated.

Advent Helpers

We would like to set up the hall on Saturday 5^th December from 2pm. This is different to previous years, to try to get more help. Please come, as the more the merrier and the job will get done in a twinkling! Any younger people – we would love to see you help us make this afternoon a success, by helping serve coffee and cakes and assisting with the cleaning up at the end. If you could come to the hall around 2:00pm, you can help cutting up cakes, etc. (yuummm!)

Finally – Talking about cakes… while you’re baking your Gutsle, please think about what type of cake, cookies or Gutsle you could bake for the day itself. We greatly appreciate people bringing something to share and making those plates on the table absolutely mouth-watering.

Don’t forget your spending money for the bazaar, the raffle and the special table decorations, which will be available for purchase afterwards. And now please mark 6^th December in your diaries!

Marianne Herrmann, for the Social & Recreation FG

• Thursday 17^th December  5:00–7:00pm

• Saturday 19^th December  9:30am–12:00 midday (dress rehearsal – it would be great to have everyone there for this practice)

Please contact

Phuong Breisch if you know your children would like to participate in the celebration. Let her know the age of the participants and whether they would like a large, small or non-speaking part.

Renate Beilharz on beilharztr@ozemail.com.au if you can help out with tasks such as decorating the Christmas tree, making backdrop, props and costumes, helping with the supper preparations and serving, setting up the hall, helping Father Christmas, assisting with children’s practices etc.

BOOKS FOR CHRISTMAS?

Fabric of Society – The Templer Journey: An Embroidered History is the lovely companion book to our magnificent wall-hanging (now up on the Chapel foyer wall). The book costs $35 and is available from Tony Beilharz or Helga Jürgensen in Bayswater, the Office in Bentleigh and from Ingrid Turner in Sydney.  An excellent idea for Christmas presents.
