Based on information from the council website we have made the decision to cancel church tomorrow please see attached portion from their website:

Our main message is to please stay home and indoors where possible. Please be careful around large trees. Storms can change our parks, tracks and reserves very quickly. Strong winds and heavy rain put extra pressure on tees and the ground around them. Please be aware of falling trees, branches and flying and falling debris. Find out more here.

On Sunday 12 April and Monday 13 April, particularly avoid ares with large trees, such as:
Murray Oaks in Morrinsville
Hetana Street Reserve in Matamata
Tracks, public spaces and playgrounds with large trees.
Morrinsville Recreation Ground
Morrinsville river walk
Te Aroha Domain
Tower Road Walkway
Te Miro Mountain bike track

Please note, this is not an exhaustive list. Please avoid all public spaces, playgrounds and tracks during severe weather.

Road closures/hazards
Please avoid unnecessary travel. If you must drive, please be careful on the roads and be wary of wet conditions and any debris on the road, particularly at night. If our teams attend a road blockage and there are strong winds, signage will not be possible. Please drive to the conditions, stay alert and stay connected for any updates.

Te Aroha footbridge closed
Thompson's Track from Saturday, 11 April 2026 for the season.

Take the babies to church.
Babies represent new life, hope, and the future.

Yes, they may cry.
Yes, they may squirm, fuss, or need to be held the entire service.
But that’s okay.

A church without babies is a quiet building, not a living one.
Those little cries are reminders that life is present, that families are growing, and that faith is being passed down in real time.

Parents don’t bring babies to be disruptive.
They bring them because they want their children to grow up surrounded by love, grace, and community even on the hard, noisy days.

So take the babies to church.
Rock them.
Walk them.
Step out if you need to and come back in when you can.
There is room for tired parents, restless toddlers, and crying babies.
