The Tea Tree Church Management Committee (TTCMC) has shared an update outlining recent progress and upcoming plans for the church and cemetery.

A key milestone has been the development of a Draft Master Plan to guide improvements through to 2030, focusing on more accessible and userfriendly facilities.

Among the practical upgrades, the church roof is set to be repainted in its traditional Manor Red. Thanks to the generosity of Paul Laing and Gemma Upton of Mapleton Wines, the church will now have a reliable water supply for the cemetery toilet and its flourishing row of roses, at no extra cost.

Electrician Jeremy Burrill kindly completed voluntary work at the church, doing a full electrical audit, installing a new power box and helping modernise the site’s cabling.

Looking ahead, the community is warmly invited to Christmas Carols on Saturday 13 December at 5pm, officiated by Harry Booth with music by Jeff Cheal on the church’s newly donated Yamaha Clavinova digital piano.

The TTCMC expressed heartfelt thanks to all who continue to support the upkeep and renewal of this much-loved community landmark.
