Advent: A Calendar of Devotions 2023
Due to increased freight costs and sourcing from the USA, MediaCom has arranged to print this much-loved resource in Australia. However, this still means the cost is significantly higher than last year. To proceed, and to keep the cost as low as possible, MediaCom needs a guaranteed number of orders before proceeding.
The price will be $39.00 for a pack of 10 + postage and handling.
Please register your interest along with number of packs you would likely order by November 4 to ken.burt@mediacom.org.au
