Cession Community

26/06/2026

Join us this Sunday from 5.00pm for our Breathe service.
We begin with a Shared Community meal at 5.00pm and our service at 5.30pm.
Breathe Services give our community the chance to share what God has been doing in their lives. This time we have a focus (but not limited to!) on our recent Alpha course
As always, our Shared Community meal is a 'bring as you can' basis. If you are unable, or forget, no worries, you are still welcome, there is always plenty.

This Sunday we start our final week of Alpha at an earlier time of 3.00pm. We will break about 5.00pm for our Community Meal.
Both our adults and young people will be looking at the Holy Spirit.
Who is the Holy Spirit and what role does He have today.
What does the Holy Spirit do.
Gifts of the Spirit, how we can make the most of our lives and what next.

This Sunday we will start our time together with a shared meal from 5.00pm. Bring a plate of food to share and with our powers combined we'll feed the community. If you're not able to bring something or forget, it's all good - there will be plenty to go around.
For our 6th week of Alpha our adults explore 'How and Why Should I Read the Bible?". We look into whether the Bible is relevant today, how it came to exist and how God speaks to us through His written word.
Our young people are in week five of their Youth Alpha course and they get to build on session four and will explore the practical and personal ways we can grow in our relationship with God, such as prayer, reading The Bible and worship.

This week our adults have their fourth session of Alpha: 'How can I have faith? What does it mean to be Christian, to be someone who follows Jesus Christ and put our faith in Him?

Our young people are in week three of their Youth Alpha course where they explore what real love looks like by seeking meaning of real, unconditional, sacrificial love, exploring sin, forgiveness, and God’s amazing grace.

Even though we are part way through the Alpha course, it is still a great opportunity to invite friends and whānau along to.

Kia ora e te whānau,

Like all of you, we've been following the progress of Cyclone Vaianu and the current advice from Met Service.

After careful consideration, we've decided to cancel our Worship Gathering this evening. Whilst things may seem quieter out there right now, high winds are expected later this afternoon, making travel by road more treacherous.

Please keep safe out there and continue to follow advice from Met Service ( https://www.facebook.com/MetService )and Auckland Emergency Management ( https://www.facebook.com/aklcdem/ ) .

This Sunday we celebrate Easter with our now Annual Whānau Fun Night with egg and spoon races (watch out for the trickery Nicola and Melissa have scrambled up for it this year!), cookie decorating and prizes that are full of Easter treats.

With this service including a bit of extra fun, alongside our normal worship time and sermon, this is a great service to invite friends and whānau to.

As we head towards the end of January, the year continues to settle into its rythumsa and routines. This Sunday we resume our rythum of meeting together on Sunday evenings.
At this stage, the plan is to meet at Eastern Beach Reserve (Mcleans end) at 5pm for a BBQ. There is a rain plan so if it questionable, keep your eyes out the change of plan.

If you are looking for somewhere to worship tomorrow East City Wesleyan Church has a service starting at 10am.

We're gathering for worship this Sunday - the first Sunday after Christmas - it's an opportunity to give thanks for the year that has been and offer our lives afresh to God for 2026. Pastor Joey will be sharing the message.
