Church Update – 09/03/18
I hope you have your seat belts fastened because March is proving to be an action filled month. Hang on ….here we go.
It began with us winning the trophy for the Divisional Sports Day. We looked stunning in our tee shirts and played strong and hard and fair. Well done everyone!! We are the champions!
This Sunday we continue our series Imagine Heaven – Part 5 Judgement.
Next Sunday, March 18th, is Harvest Sunday where we will celebrating our gifts and talents that make us uniquely us.
Remember the old fashioned Harvest Sunday with fruit and veges? Well it won’t be like that but we would encourage you to bring along some items of food that would be suitable for our foodbank, or something that you have made which you would like to share. e.g. jam, knitting, greeting cards.
Immediately following the Sunday service on March 25th, Lindsay, our Business Administrator will be presenting the Congregational Report for the last financial year 2016/2017 as well as an update on our current financial situation.
I believe that it is important for all of us to be fully involved in how we are tracking financially – you might have some great ideas!
Easter at The Inn is fast approaching. The date for this is Saturday 24th March – the same weekend as Aotearoa Neighbours Day – perfect timing! Invite your friends!
There are a number of activities that will be happening during the cafe and we are needing people to sign up to help. There will be a sign up sheet at the YES desk on Sunday. Thanks for serving our community in this way.
Note that set up for Easter at The Inn cafe will be on Friday 23rd at 6pm.
Our Positive Parenting Course kicks off this Wednesday night. Thanks Andrea and team for all you are doing to enrich family life and work alongside parents to resource and empower them as they parent their precious children.
Hannah has produced a very helpful brochure which outlines the current philosophy for our Stepping Stones programme.
Copies of it are available at Stepping Stones over the next few weeks and also from the back table.
Phew – told you lots going on. Roll up your sleeves. Plenty of room to serve each other and our community. But …. before we work, we worship!
See you on Sunday.
Pastor Dave
