Generations connect through Christmas greetings

This year the Maleny High School P&C looked at ways to help support students to engage with the local community.

P&C president Danielle Watt said the campaign was extremely rewarding not just for the students but for the P&C members as well.

“We recently reached out to a local aged care facility to see how our students and school might connect with the residents this Christmas, and the decision was made that Christmas cards would be appreciated,” Danielle said.

The 100 Christmas cards required were generously donated by the family of a P&C member and the students went to work writing messages so that each of the elderly residents would receive a card.

Danielle said that the number of students who wanted to take part was extraordinary with the cards being completed over several days by many different students.

“We were honestly overwhelmed by the number of students who wanted to participate,” she said.

“As a parent and a member of the P&C it warms my heart to see our students helping to bridge the gap between themselves and the elderly local residents, and we are looking forward to continuing to do this year after year.

“We would like to thank our school principal Deborah Stewart who is such a positive and dedicated leader and has been so supportive of all of the students’ projects within the community,” Danielle said.

Cancellation of Christmas festival

With dramatic weather predictions last week of thunderstorms, heavy rain and wind, Maleny Commerce was forced to cancel this year’s Maleny Christmas Festival and Street party planned for Friday, December 14.

Maleny Commerce president Nicole Hilton thanked the small band of volunteers - Mark Burgunder, Colin and Lindel Keilly, Rev Scott Kroeger, Jenni Matthews and Maleny Commerce’s secretary Karen Shaw - who had worked tirelessly over the past few months to create what is always a fun family community event.

“We know how disappointing cancelling the event is for our town and how disappointing it is for Karen and her team. However, as always our priority is ensuring the safety of the community,” Nicole said.

Christmas Tree Festival to delight

How many ways can you interpret the theme ‘Christmas growing up’?

Visitors to the annual Christmas Tree Festival at Maleny Uniting Church are about to find out.

The church building will be filled with more than 40 trees and displays all depicting this year’s theme of Christmas growing up.

Festival coordinator Murray Robertson said the festival was not a competition and through the many displays you can expect multiple interpretations of the theme.

“Some trees will reflect the Christmas we know from when we were growing up, and I am sure size will be a big factor,” Murray said.

“Others may provoke thoughts about how our attitude to Christmas changes as we grow older,” he said.

Children will be well catered for at the festival. While the trees will captivate them, there will also be plenty of hands-on activities including the Kids Play Zone, which includes a choice of activities, craft, quizzes and Christmas books.

Each year the festival sponsors a local charity and this year it is Maleny Neighbourhood Centre.

The centre provides much needed assistance to people who need a helping hand, which can often be the case at Christmas.

Entry to the Christmas Tree Festival is free, but visitors are invited to make a gold coin contribution to the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre.

So put ‘Christmas growing up’ on your Christmas to do list. It just might change your feelings about Christmas.

The Maleny Uniting Church is located a 1290 Landsborough/Maleny Road, Maleny. For more details go to www.malenyuniting.com.au, the Maleny Uniting Church Facebook page or phone 0409 586 601 or 0409 268 665.

Spare a thought for our furry friends this Christmas

By Clive Phillips, professor of animal welfare, and Sarah Zito, research coordinator, at the Centre for Animal Welfare and Ethics, the University of Queensland.

Christmas is typically a time for celebrating and spending time with loved ones. But while we party, give lavish presents and visit our families, we can sometimes overlook how some very important family members — our pets — might be affected.

We should give special consideration at this time of year to the animals we love as their lives can be unknowingly thrown into turmoil for several days, or even weeks.

Changing routines

The Christmas holiday period is often a time when our routines change - late nights, leaving the house to visit relatives and going on holiday.

Pets don’t understand our complicated lives and rely on a simple routine for happiness. This can be a recipe for trouble.

Parties involve noise, lots of people descending on their territory and unusual human behaviour, such as excessive shouting and fireworks. In much of northern Australia, Christmas time coincides with storm season, exacerbating the risks to pets.

It’s important to make sure your pets are identified in case they escape. Better still, have a quiet area for them to retreat to. Tips on helping your pets get through the fireworks and a thunderstorm season are available from the RSPCA. If you plan to go away, having a pet minder come to the house is usually the best option, as leaving pets alone for long periods will cause added stress. Toys which trickle feed the animal or frozen water in milk cartons can keep them occupied when the owners are away for short stints.

Sending a pet to a kennel or cattery for an extended stay should only be considered if a suitable minder cannot be found, as the change in environment can be similarly stressful for the animal. If you do choose this option, the facility should be carefully inspected to make sure it is set up with the best interests of the animal in mind.

You can prepare your pet for their temporary

new home by making sure vaccinations are up to date and taking them for short stays before Christmas.

They should arrive with any medications and specific food. And it is best for all involved not to prolong the parting, however guilty you may feel leaving them.

Household hazards

The silly season also brings with it many increased risks to pets around the house that we may be completely unaware of.

For example, while many foods we eat at Christmas may seem like a delicious special treat, they can actually be quite dangerous for animals. Poisoning is most common from chocolate, lollies, Christmas

are potentially harmful, including holly, mistletoe, amaryllis, poinsettia and lilies (which are deadly to cats).

If your pet has consumed any of these things, symptoms to watch out for are vomiting, diarrhoea and decreased appetite and weight loss.

Other things to be mindful of are loose cords, light strands and electrical wires, which can look like tempting toys, especially for adventurous puppies and kittens looking for things to chew.

Giving animals as gifts

pudding/cake, grapes, sultanas, raisins, coffee grounds, alcohol, salt, onions, avocado, garlic, macadamia nuts, anything containing the sweetener xylitol (eg, gum, candy or breath fresheners), cooked bones and anything with chilli in it.

Many people like to give their pets a present at Christmas, but it should be suitable and the pet should not be allowed to eat the wrapping paper or string. As many of us know, our animal friends also seem to be curiously drawn to Christmas tree decorations such as tinsel, ribbons, balls, lights, edible chocolates and candy canes, which can be dangerous if consumed. Snow globes, too, can be deadly as they may contain anti-freeze.

Be careful when adding preservatives, such as aspirin, to a Christmas tree’s water, as pets may drink it (better still, don’t use aspirin as it doesn’t work on trees). In fact, many plants and flowers commonly used as decorations or gifts at Christmas 18

Thanks to the Sunshine Coast Animal Rescue for sharing their Santa Paws photos

Giving animals as gifts is understandable and can bring a lot of joy to the family over the festive season and beyond. But while research has shown that animals presented as gifts are no more likely to be abandoned than other animals, it’s still important to think carefully about the needs of everyone involved, including the intended pet.

Animal shelters, for instance, caution about giving pets at Christmas time as it does not give the recipient time to consider the implications of taking on a new family member. For instance, exotic pets, such as snakes and lizards, require special consideration and should need the person’s consent.

One way to overcome the risk of rejection or neglect is to give a voucher for pet purchase, redeemable at shelters, or giving a toy animal with a message that it will be replaced by a live animal at a suitable time.

It’s also important to get the animal from a good source, taking care to avoid animals from puppy or kitten farms, where conditions for the animals are generally poor. Buying from an animal shelter is best, where there is usually a large range of breeds and ages to choose from, together with health guarantees for the animals purchased and careful behaviour checks.

Our pets should enjoy Christmas too There are ways to make sure pets enjoy Christmas rather than it being a stressful time each year.

Suitable treats can be provided with their regular food. Because people have more free time, we can spend some extra quality time with our pets by cuddling on the sofa, brushing them, playing games or going for extra walks.

Let’s not be selfish this Christmas, remembering not only the people in the world that are less fortunate than ourselves, but also the many cats, dogs and other animals that need a home and rely on us to ensure the festive season is a happy and healthy one.

Christmas messages from Glasshouse Lachlan Campbell Landsborough Adventist Community Church Wishing the Glasshouse community a wonderful Christmas season.

Jesus is the reason for the season and the hope to all. May you find your joy and blessing in Him and with family.

Christmas blessings from the Landsborough Adventist Community Church.

We’re not alone

Recently, we attended Gregson & Weight’s Christmas memorial service at their Caloundra Road chapel. The service united folk who had said their final goodbyes to family or friends throughout the year.

The chapel was brimful with tissue boxes neatly laid on the seats and a tall bare Christmas tree occupying centre stage where the coffin would normally be placed.

After the warm welcome and introduction, the popular and stirring ‘Amazing Grace’ was sung.

Staff expressed meaningful words followed by a Christmas message from the former chaplain of the Maleny State High School. An RSL tribute was also presented.

The highlight was the tree of remembrance where family members of all ages were invited to adorn the tree with bright baubles and a written message in memory of the special folk they wouldn’t be celebrating Christmas with this year. A golden star was placed atop the proud tree and with the flick of a switch flashing lights danced along the branches.

On the overhead screens a photographic tribute brought our much loved ones to life in an overwhelming feeling of their actual presence there with us. Words of comfort gave us the “warm fuzzies” - a time of parting is shared by us all, but so too does being reunited finally.

‘Life on a train’ in its original form was shown while accompanying, meaningful phrases brought many of us to tears. These experiences help us grow together and understand death.

We left feeling we had shared something common with all folk who attended the service.

Refreshments, smiling and having conversations with people we‘d only just come to know - all sharing a feeling of deep loss at Christmas time. It was overwhelming.

We’re not alone; none of us!

Our gold star award goes to the Gregson family and to the wonderful staff of Gregson & Weight on the Sunshine Coast.

Reverend Jeanette Jamieson Maleny Anglican Church This year we will have Christmas carols at St Luke’s, Kenilworth on Sunday, December 23 at 4.30pm, and on Christmas Eve at St George’s, Maleny at 6.30pm and St Mary’s, Montville at 5.30pm prior to the Christmas services.

Following on from last year’s popular Christingle family service at St George’s, Maleny, we have decided to hold another one this year on Christmas Eve at 7pm. A Christingle family service will also be held at St Mary’s, Montville at 5pm. At these services there will be Christingles with a candle for every child, readings, carols, a nativity scene and costumes. We wish you all a blessed Christmas season.

Pastor Mal Moses Glasshouse Community Church The Bible foretold (Isaiah 7:14) that God would send a Son to this world, amazingly born of a virgin woman, and His name would mean ‘God with us’. In Luke, chapter 2, God’s Angel declared Christ’s birth and that He is the Saviour for, and brings peace to, humanity.

Jesus Christ brings peace by restoring our relationship to God. Come along to church this Christmas and find out more about this good news of how you can know for sure of one day going to Heaven.

I pray that you have a holy Christmas and blessed New Year.

Father Kevin Smith Catholic Church Among all the stresses and joys of the Christmas season there is always the wonderful gift that we acknowledge every year. It’s the gift, as they say, “that keeps on giving”. That gift is God with us. Here and now, tomorrow, when all else seems not enough or when everything seems too much, God is with us, God is with me and in Jesus the presence of God’s love and mercy is given to us forever. A very happy Christmas to you all.

God bless.

It’s the season to be jolly, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-lala-la.

We have every reason to be jolly because of what was announced to shepherds at the time of the birth of Jesus. “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord’.” Luke 2:10-11.

Yes, it’s good news! We can know God through Jesus Christ. He’s the reason for the season!

Jill Schefe Calvary Lutheran Church The members and friends of Calvary Lutheran Church Glasshouse greet you this CHRIST-mas as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. “Behold, I bring you glad tidings of great joy. To you is born this day a Saviour, which is Christ the King.”

It is difficult sometimes to find peace and joy in a world filled with restlessness and despair.

The one who brings hope to our world is Jesus. He was born to be the Saviour of the world. His love is everlasting so we can totally depend on the King who was born for us.

Reverend Catherine Solomon Maleny Uniting Church This will be my last Christmas message as minister for the Maleny, Montville and Palmwoods Uniting churches. It has been a pleasure to live and serve in these communities for the past four years, but now God is leading me and Andrew to Elanora Uniting on the Gold Coast. May this Christmas be one where you and your family experience the love and peace found in Jesus’ birth story.

May your new year bring hope and joy found in Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. Happy Christmas!

Reverend Geoff Weston Glasshouse Country Uniting Church For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Saviour which is Christ the Lord. Our congregation extends a very warm welcome to all to attend our Christmas Day service.

Reverend Chris Johnson Glasshouse Country Baptist Church On behalf of the Glasshouse Country Baptist Church we would like to wish everyone a very merry and sacred Christmas. It would be lovely to see you at our Christmas Day service at 8am or any of our regular 9am services.

Christmas is a very special time of year, let’s not waste it. How about we try to reconnect with God, with family and friends?

Reverend Scott Kroeger Maleny Presbyterian Church What’s your favourite Christmas carol, and why? I’m not speaking of popular Christmas songs that deal with Santa, reindeer and snowmen, but those that sing the advent of the birth of the Saviour Jesus. Which do you like best? There are many to choose from. You might like a favourite tune, or arrangement, or perhaps the artist singing or playing it.

But words are important as they express the profound advent of the Christ child in space, time and history. Examine the content and the truth spoken in these carols. For what it’s worth, my favourite is ‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing’.

Pastor Aaron Jackson Church on the Rise Beerwah Joy to the world!

Luke 2 verse 14 is a reminder that Christmas is not a man-made occasion to have a holiday. It is the celebration of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Saviour of our souls given to everyone especially those who believe on His name. God didn’t create us for a miserable existence but that we would experience joy, peace and goodwill towards others, and a relationship with Him to live out our purpose for which he created us. More than just gathering with family this Christmas, let us come to God to discover the true joy he offers all, through Christ Jesus.
