Newsletter for November

Psalm 105 says, "Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.  Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts."

God is good and we thank him for his blessings.  Pastor Glenn is thankful for the church kindly giving him time away from the pulpit.  He says the break away has been very beneficial and appreciates so much the support and prayers of the congregation.  During Glenn's absence God has provided us with an interesting variety of preachers who have brought us God's word.  Glenn is looking forward to being back in the pulpit at the beginning of December.

Sincerely
Neville Bartle
District Superintendent

There are only a matter of weeks before the Kids Club will be finished for another year. If you are 5 - 13 years of age then you need to be at the church on Fridays at 7pm for time of fun, crafts, games and hearing more about God.
Nelson Paul will answer any queries.

ATTENTION YOUTH
We have a special group of young people coming over from our Nazarene Churches in Australia, for our District Assembly early in January.  They will be leading in the praise and worship part of the meetings.

Keep these dates in mind and plan to attend as many meetings as possible especially the Tuesday night Youth Convention.

This will be an amazing time to come and see what is happening on our New Zealand District with the Youth.  Come and meet up with some people you know and make some new friends.  Let's make our youth group known to the District!

 

The Families of Maureen Gordon would like to express their gratitude for the overwhelming love and support from the Church people during the time of her passing.
