An Aussie Christmas

Over the past couple of weeks I have read on Facebook and heard stories about suburbs and shopping precincts around Melbourne failing to acknowledge anything about this season we call Christmas. .

  • How to lose friends and irritate people

    Christmas is here, so why not a little note on evangelism, or \'How to Lose Friends and Irritate People\' (c\'mon, you know it\'s true). This is one stage (the Christmas pageant) where people may dare listen to the Christian message?
