Isn’t it concerning when you start seeing 2021 calendars coming through so soon in the year. The famous Bible Gem 2021 calendars are now in store along with children’s Christmas gifts for overseas postings or even for the end of year programmes. Look forward to seeing the new additions to the store over the next few weeks as I look forward to putting up Nativity Sets . So enjoyable to visually recognise the gift of Christ’s birth for all the world.
Pop in and see us. We have heaps of devotionals, children’s books and Christian living being restocked weekly. Any questions please ask and we do order books in for you.
