Ministry Highlight 🤩
This month we're Highlighting a very special ministry called, The Gathering. Please enjoy what Gwenda Aronson has to say about why she loves The Gathering.
"Every first Tuesday of the month, something quietly special happens. From around 9am, before most people arrive, a team of us helpers are already there — setting tables, preparing the luncheon, making sure everything is ready. It's a privilege, not a chore.
“The Gathering is a place where people, mostly in their sixties and beyond, come together as fellow believers, and the warmth in that room is something you simply feel. Birthdays are celebrated with the kind of joy that only comes from people who truly know one another. We sing hymns and choruses that have carried us through decades of life. We share communion together, which always moves me deeply. A thoughtfully chosen speaker brings a fifteen-minute message that somehow manages to linger long after lunch is finished.
“And then there's the luncheon — a light meal, good conversation, and more often than not, genuine laughter.
“The team stays until about 1pm to clean up, and honestly, I leave feeling fuller than when I arrived.
If you haven't visited The Gathering yet — come along next month. You'll be so glad you did."
The Gathering meets on the first Tuesday of every month, starting at 10:15am - All ages are welcome.

MINISTRY HIGHLIGHT 🙌
This month, we’d love to highlight our Men’s Gather Group, who meet every Tuesday at 7pm. Last month marked a special milestone as they held their very first camp. Many of you may have already heard the powerful testimonies that have emerged from this group since its beginning, and today we want to take a moment to share another incredible testimony from their time away.

"In early 2026, despite concerns over distance and short notice, the OBC men decided to hold our first camp at Finlay Park in faith.
The theme, “The Heart of a Man,” led us through meaningful discussions on the challenges, wounds, battles, and God-given desires for beauty, adventure, and purpose that men face today.
Memorable moments happened around the evening fire, where stories, laughter, and real connection were built. We also prayed for the upcoming e-camp.
It was a refreshing break from the rat race. Social times included swimming, cricket, and playground swings, while 11.5 kg of meat disappeared among 22 hungry men!
As iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17), God moved among the men from the Hibiscus Coast. Finlay Park will now be remembered as a place where hearts were touched.
We thank God for a powerful weekend and look forward to many more."

We thank God for all that He's doing in this group. We give Him all the glory and honour. May He continue this good work, as the group grows!

Due to severe weather warnings and guidance from Auckland Civil Defence, we’ve made the decision to cancel all services tomorrow (12 April).

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN APRIL?

Myk Habets:
We’re excited to welcome Myk Habets this Sunday!
Myk teaches theology at Laidlaw College and is passionate about helping people explore the big ideas of the Christian faith—and why they matter today. When he’s not teaching, you’ll likely find him preaching around Auckland, running seminars, or enjoying a North Shore beach with his family.
You won’t want to miss what Myk has to share—join us this Sunday!

Coast Young Adult worship night:
Community matters at every age—and we’re loving seeing our YA community come together!
We’re excited to gather young adults from different churches, united by our shared love for Christ. This night will be filled with fellowship, worship, and powerful testimonies. How good?!
📍 Coast Vineyard Hub
🕖 7–9pm | 16 April
Make sure you’re there!

Celebration Service
While this isn’t happening in April, we’re already looking forward to celebrating with our church community. Baptisms, testimonies, and stories of God’s goodness are worth pausing for—and celebrating together is deeply important to us.
If you’re interested in getting baptized, becoming a church member, or taking steps toward child dedication, we’d love to hear from you.

We’d love to welcome you this Easter as we gather together on Sunday at 9am and 11am.
This Good Friday, our service will look a little different. The church will be open as a quiet, reflective space (from 9am-12pm) to remember what Jesus has done for us all. You’re invited to come at your own pace, pause, pray, and reflect—and there will be an opportunity to take communion.
