Please share and get this to as many people as possible. We need to get this fixed before winter. We know a lot of people have a connection to this beautiful church, Maybe a marriage, baptism or funeral. Generations that have a connection in some way. Even if all you could afford is a price of a cup of coffee, anything would be really appreciated. We are a giving church and we hate asking, but we are reaching out now in the hopes our people will help.

We have two great Sundays coming up.
The first is our "Children's and Family Service" on 14th December at 10am. This is always a great family time just before Christmas and very popular with the children, so come along and bring your Whanau and join us for this lovely celebration. Contact Heather on 0276408973 for further information.

And the 2nd is Lessons and carols service the following Sunday 21 December at 10am. If you love singing carols - and Christmas is not the same without carols- then come and join us. It is open to the whole community.
