Typed programme for the services of the Bradford-Holland Landing Pastoral Charge on February 24, 1985. Includes an insert with Announcements and "An Outline of Christian Worship" insert with "300 A.D." handwritten in ballpoint pen on it. Front cover of the program is a colour photograph of a church altar, cross, and stained glass. Back cover is also in colour and has Psalm 25: 1-10 printed on it.

Copy of a Family Bible printed in 1880, with custom-ordered embossed leather binding, with gilt decoration on front. Pasted on the inside of the front cover is a leather book label with gilt lettering that reads: " Presented to the Mount Pleasant Branch of Christ Church by the junior members of the church as a token of affectionate remembrance of a dear friend". This is likely in reference to Ena Stoddart, who moved away from the area after her marriage in 1888. This is likely the Bible that was presented in her honour, as reported in The Witness. The book contains many engraved illustrations, including a coloured frontispiece. At the back there is a board for family portraits, decorated with illumination and with the portrait spots left empty. The edges of the text block are also gilded.
