Tomorrow morning (Wednesday the 14th of December) Snack is visiting the Light FM studios in Melbourne to help spread the Christmas spirit! Tune in to 89.9FM from 7:30am to hear Snack performing a Christmas Carol as well as one of their new songs.

Snack congratulates Beverly Hughes and Juni Hoel for brilliantly completing their 6 week walk from Sydney to Melbourne, raising money and awareness for the Dalit children in India. The current tally raised so far is $22 461.00 and it is still rising! Thank you to those who donated to this worthy cause and for those who still wish to please visit www.walkforthekids.com.au to make a contribution.

In the middle of December Dwayne Leslie, our amazing Snack guitarist, and his family will be departing on a huge adventure around Australia. Snack wishes them a safe and exciting journey. We will miss seeing all those beautiful red heads running around and especially miss Dwayne's expertise on the guitar, but look forward to hearing all about their exciting adventures! We look forward to having Dwayne back on board in 2013!

We have now finished writing all the songs for our new album - hooray! We plan to record early in the new year so please keep us in your prayers as we go into the studio. We can't wait to share our new songs with you!

Snack is very excited to announce a new competition with one of our new songs! Snack has created a new song based on a memory verse and we want to turn it into a dance track. To do this we need your help to create a great dance beat and/or some sampling to bring it to life.

If you think you, or someone you know, may have the skills go to snackmusic.com.au and click dance beat competition in the panel on the left of the screen. The best entry not only gets credited as a contributor to the song, but also receives a Snack pack full of Snack products and goodies.

Ruth is starting a new job at the beginning of next year which is an exciting move and a great opportunity for her. Ruth, who is currently a primary school teacher, will take up the role of Associate Children's Pastor at Stairway Church in Vermont, Melbourne (formerly Christian City Church Whitehorse). This is a full time position and will see Ruth working in Sunday School and outreach programs, coordinating CRE in schools, developing kids worship and a myriad of other things that a children's ministry worker does! For more information about Stairway Church go to www.stairway.org.au.

Be PREpared and PRAYpared. You never know what God will show you for your ministry!

- Recording our new album in the new year
- May the Leslies have a safe journey throughout Australia
