Good Friday's 10 am service will take us through the remarkable plan that God has unfolded. Several people are involved in this and along with the carefully chosen music Good Friday will truly touch hearts.

Sunday Sunrise Service 6.45 am will be worth the effort of making it to Mt Atkinson, Titirangi. Breakfast follows at the church with a donation requested, $2 pp suggested.

40-Hour Famine was tough this year. Eight young people spent Friday night at the church where they indulged in games, videos, litres of juice and an acre of barley sugar. They all found it tougher than ever but did a brilliant job. Congratulations, they raised just under $300. They also spent time taking complimentary hot chocolate door to door.

Multi Cultural Lunch

A recent letter to the church from a visitor stated, "never have I felt so welcomed by so many people from different back grounds."

Mums in touch
This is a specialised prayer ministry for the children and young people of our church and the schools they attend.
Co-ordinator Anita Polglase will provide special features at the ladies coffee breaks and in church services to keep us updated.

Pastoral Support
The Pastor is gladly available to visit all members and friends of the church and community. Pastoral support is a phone call away. Few of us, in our times of crisis, should attempt to deal with our cares and concerns alone. Members and friends who may not wish to consult with the Pastor about personal matters, as well as those who need longer-term counselling are referred to Cornerstone Christian Counselling for their care.
