Christmas Stall - Loretta Mether
The DCF is delighted to be involved in a program of mission efforts throughout 2025 which commenced with a Christmas stall just prior to Christmas 2024. One of our favourite moments of the Christmas stall held at the Darlington Reserve on 30 November, was our first customer of the day who stopped to buy some jam on his morning cycle and which he fitted nicely into the back pocket of his lycra jersey! Breakfast solved! We thank everyone in the Darlington community for stopping buy on the day, and for making great selections of some amazing home cooked goodies in time for Christmas and which greatly assisted us to meet our funding target; we raised over $2,000 on the day!
As part of our ongoing mission support, we will be holding a pop up plant and op shop with a sausage sizzle and Devonshire tea on 12th April. We encourage Darlingtonites to use this opportunity to clear out their unwanted 'stuff' and to donate clothes, bric-a-brac, books and toys for a great cause, and to come along and enjoy a day of browsing, and having scones and tea. Keep a eye out in April's Darlington Review for further details, or follow us on Facebook at Darlington Christian Fellowship.
The mission efforts supported by DCF are helping to:
- Support refugees to settle in Australia
- Mobilise and prepare volunteers to serve in overseas missions
- Support vulnerable children in Mexico
- Translate the Bible in Papua New Guinea
