Picnic this Sunday 23rd February – 11:45pm – 1:30pm
Our Church Picnic will take place this Sunday 23rd of February – invite a friend or two, families and neighbours to join us, as we launch into 2025. Bring your own picnic, or grab a bite from the cafe. Join us on the Te Korōria lawn after our Sunday service from 11:45 am. If the weather is bad, we will meet in the Kowhai room – rain or shine! There will be a bouncy castle and lawn games.
It is super easy to invite people along – “Hey i’m going to a picnic after church, would you want to come? it’s going to be great”
We look forward to spending time with you, your friends, and whānau in the sunshine!
