Books, Bagels & Banter
WATCH THIS SPACE Next week we’ll be announcing our exciting line-up of speakers for Books, Bagels & Banter so check in then to meet the speakers and for ticketing details.
A huge thank you to members of the St Andrew’s community who have donated books, given their time to sort these and so much more. We still have a large number of books to sort so if you can spare an hour or two on Wednesday, please come to the Church hall
between 9am and 12 noon.
We also need volunteers on the weekend of the event, particularly people to sell books - if you can lend a hand, message us or let Karen know at the office.
St Andrew’s is well-known for its hospitality and we wish to extend this to everyone who attends the opening night on Friday 24th May. If you are able to make a donation to help cover some of the expenses please contact the office – any amount will be gratefully received.
Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

It was World Book Day on the 23rd of April, so what better time to celebrate some of our talented residents who have published books.
They range from children’s books, to poems, from non-fiction to a first novel - and all are proof that there is no age limit when it comes to creativity!
