A CHRISTMAS GIFT
We believe Christmas should be a season of generosity, wonder, and joy — shared by everyone, no matter their circumstances. That’s why admission to The Gift Christmas Show is completely free.
This isn’t just a performance; it’s our gift to you, the community. We want you, your family, your friends, and your neighbours to experience an unforgettable evening of laughter, storytelling, and spectacular music — all celebrating the true spirit of Christmas. Come and receive this gift with us, and let the wonder of Christmas live on long after the curtain falls.
We’d love you to invite others to join you — bring along your friends, family, and neighbours so they don’t miss out. And if there’s space available, feel free to come again and enjoy the magic a second time! Christmas is even better when we experience it together.
A FESTIVE ADVENTURE
The Gift is a heartwarming Christmas musical that weaves the enchanting tale of three spirited elf sisters: Holly, Carol, and Spark. These determined siblings share a simple yet grand dream—to join Santa's elite elf team and play a pivotal role in spreading Christmas joy worldwide.
Their lives take an unexpected turn when three wise men, seeking Santa's assistance, mistake the trio for Santa's trusted helpers. In a surprising twist, Holly, Carol, and Spark find themselves entrusted with the task of delivering special gifts on behalf of the wise men.
Journeying through fantastical lands, the sisters unravel the true meaning of Christmas and discover the magic that happens when we share the gift of love. This enchanting, family-friendly musical production invites audiences of all ages to embark on an unforgettable adventure, filled with joy and festive cheer.

FAQ'S
-
What Is Tithing?The term "tithe" refers to a portion of one's income that is set aside for religious or charitable purposes. The concept of tithing originates from biblical times and still has significance today. Tithing is more than a religious obligation, it fosters generosity, strengthens the believer's dependence on God, and helps the church realise its goal. Tithing creates a framework to work out a heart and lifestyle of generosity in our lives.
-
How Much Should I Tithe?While tithing can help us set a specific percentage, it also serves as a baseline, encouraging us to give beyond the minimum we are able to give. While 10% is a traditional amount of our income to give, some may feel called to give more than this, especially if they are in a position to do so. In his first letter to the Christians in Corinth, Paul writes that “each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income” (1 Corinthians 16:2 NIV). The amount that you give will depend on your financial means, but we would encourage you to diligently pray and seek God’s wisdom in how much you should be giving. For some 10% may be an appropriate amount, for others it may be more. Giving should also be a joyful experience and be seen as an act of worship. Paul writes “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7 NIV).
-
What is Legacy Giving?Leaving a charitable gift under your Will offers an opportunity to make a substantial donation to a cause you care about. A legacy might be an expression of thanks to God for an organisation which has played a significant role in your life or in the lives of your family. This may be the church where you or your children were nurtured. With the economic pressures of today, exceptional lifetime giving is out of reach for many. However, you may hold wealth in less realisable assets, such as a business or your own home. A legacy from these assets may represent your best opportunity to make a more substantial gift.
