Our community is crafting a beautiful subscription package offering daily emails to all who register, as a gift or for themselves as an investment in spiritual wellbeing, between Christmas and Epiphany.
The emails will be sent: 25 December – 5 January at 7.00am EAST daily
(if this timing is not the best for a notification to land in your inbox it is possible to mute emails in your inbox so you can look at them when it best suits).
Subscribe/Register by date: 18th December Midnight AEST
Cost (soft): $15 AUD (Please get in touch if this is out of your budget but you would still like to register)
50% of funds raised will go to a charity organisation of the Ministry Task-Groups Choosing. The other half will go towards HHO's sustainability in 2025.

- Personal stories from our community life, including our care for our animals and the environment
- Some resources from our Reader Project, Digital Faith Artists and Holy Hermit Remembrance | Ministries
- A reflection/origins story of our community commitment prayers which feature in our Prayer Group | Ministries
- Recommended reading, listening, watching and/or craft/baking/creative activities
- An invitation to do art with us using a special AI Padlet board made specially for Christmastide
- Songs, blogs, poems, books and other Holy Hermit related art that we would like to share with you
What is this all about?
We hope to offer this to people who are alone, or who struggle during this season as a source of comfort and inspiration to draw nearer to God in creation.
It also represents a gift to our Holy Hermits Online members and family as an extension of our devotional practice.
We hope folk will gift this subscription to others for Christmas (for people who are at a distance, those they don’t know what else to gift, or for those they wish to share faith/invitation to HHO with in a special way).
This also has the potential to be a beautiful gift to the wider church community and create more opportunity for us to connect with our Ministry Partners.
How does it work?
After registrations close on 12th December Rev'd Jamee will contact all on the list to confirm the subscription. People can opt out at this point or unsubscribe using the button at the bottom of any of our send outs to stop recieving the emails.
All email addresses are securely handled through the tithe.ly database and emails are sent through a mail sytem which means that addresses are never shared with others on the list.
Below is a downloadable template to use to let people know that they have recieved this as a gift - so if you are purchasing this as a present for someone, make sure to contact them to let them know that it is from you!
