Verse for 2025
Our verse for 2025 will be Galatians 5:25, which has been discerned by Vestry.
‘Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives’
This weekend we are back up and running with our 9am and 10:30am services. Our verse for the year will be a focus, as well as a baptism for Sophie and Gregory Crooks son, Simon at the 10:30am service.
GodZone (our children’s programme) also starts this Sunday, at the 10:30am service. Please click the link HERE to register for GodZone (all children need to register).
We look forward to seeing everyone, and kicking off the new year!
Join us for a Picnic this Sunday!
We start off our year with a picnic together on the 2nd of February – invite a friend and join us, as we launch into 2025. Bring your own picnic, or grab a bite from the cafe, and join us on the Te Korōria lawn after our Sunday service from 11:45 am. If the weather is bad, we will need to cancel the picnic, we will make a call by 10am on Sunday.
We look forward to spending time with you, your friends, and whānau in the sunshine!
