A WORD FOR TODAY | Join us this Sunday.

One of the greatest blessings God has given us is the opportunity to gather together in worship.

Psalm 122:1 says, "I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord.'"

There is something powerful about worshipping together, hearing God's Word, and encouraging one another in faith.

If you don't have a church home, or if it's been a while since you've been to church, we'd love to welcome you.

Join us this Sunday at 10:00am at St Johns Family Church, Hāwera.

Come expectant. Come hungry for God. Come as you are.

We look forward to meeting you.

Who could you invite to come along with you this Sunday?

Have a blessed day.

A WORD FOR TODAY | Take the next step.

Many of us would love God to reveal the whole plan.

Instead, He often gives us enough light for the next step.

Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding.

Faith isn't knowing everything ahead of time. Faith is trusting the One who does.

If you're facing a decision, a challenge, or an uncertain future, don't become overwhelmed by the entire journey.

Simply take the next faithful step and trust God with the rest.

He is a faithful guide.

What next step is God asking you to take?

Have a blessed day.

YOU’RE INVITED THIS SUNDAY!

Kia ora, this Sunday, we gather to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the love that brought us near to God, and the risen King who is alive and reigning today!

It’s more than simply knowing about Jesus, it’s about seeing Him for who He truly is, surrendering our lives to Him, and walking in the power of His grace.

Join us for a meaningful time of worship, the Word, and Communion as we remember His sacrifice, celebrate His victory, and fix ALL EYES ON JESUS!

ST JOHN'S FAMILY CHURCH
Sunday, 1 November

Come expectant, bring your family, and invite a friend!

There’s a seat for YOU at St John's Family Church!

A WORD FOR TODAY | God is your refuge.

Life has a way of bringing unexpected challenges.

Sometimes we try to carry everything ourselves until the weight becomes too much.

Psalm 46:1 reminds us that God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Notice that Scripture doesn't say He was a help or that He might be a help. It says He is an ever-present help.

Today, whatever burden you're carrying, bring it to Him.

God is not distant from your struggles. He is near, and He is able.

Don't give up. Run to Him.

What burden do you need to place in God's hands today?

Have a blessed day.

A WORD FOR TODAY | God sees what others don't.

Have you ever felt like your efforts go unnoticed?

Perhaps you've been serving, encouraging others, praying faithfully, or doing the right thing when no one else seems to see.

Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:4 that our Father sees what is done in secret.

God notices every prayer, every act of kindness, every sacrifice, and every step of obedience.

People may miss it, but God never does.

Be encouraged today. Your faithfulness matters because it matters to Him.

Keep serving. Keep loving. Keep trusting. God sees it all.

Have a blessed day.

A WORD FOR TODAY | Come and be refreshed.

Life has a way of filling our minds and schedules with many things.

Work, family responsibilities, challenges, and unexpected pressures can leave us feeling tired and spiritually drained.

Jesus gives a simple invitation in Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

One of the blessings of gathering for worship is that it gives us the opportunity to pause, refocus, and spend time in God's presence.

Church is not another task on the calendar. It is an opportunity to draw near to God, be encouraged by His Word, and allow Him to refresh our hearts.

If you have been feeling weary, distracted, or overwhelmed, why not make time to come and worship this Sunday?

God has exactly what you need for this season.

What is one thing you need to surrender to God this week?

Have a blessed day.

22/10/2026

A WORD FOR TODAY | God's timing is perfect.

Waiting is one of the hardest parts of faith.

We often want answers now, solutions now, and breakthroughs now.

Yet God often works through seasons of waiting.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 reminds us that God makes everything beautiful in its time.

While we wait, God is still working.

He is developing patience, building trust, and preparing us for what lies ahead.

The delay may not be a denial.

What feels slow to us is often part of God's greater purpose.

Trust Him with the timeline.

His timing has always been faithful.

What are you trusting God for during this season of waiting?

Have a blessed day.

A WORD FOR TODAY | God's strength is enough.

Everyone experiences seasons of weariness.

There are days when we feel exhausted physically, emotionally, or spiritually.

The good news is that God never expects us to rely solely on our own strength.

Isaiah 40:31 reminds us that those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

When our strength runs low, God's does not.

He provides grace for today, courage for tomorrow, and strength for every challenge we face.

You do not have to have all the answers.

You do not have to carry every burden by yourself.

Lean on Him today.

Where do you need God's strength most right now?

Have a blessed day.
