Neighbourly is pure spam

Euan from Riccarton

I have repeatedly told neighbourly to stop sending me emails, but the builders of this system are clearly desperate, and they keep spamming me. It’s like Hotel California after you sign up - you can never leave.

Activate Church Christchurch

Hi neighbours!

Hi neighbours!

From the outside (and sadly, sometimes for those on the inside too), church can look like a bunch of rules to follow. The idea that Christianity is a case of, 'Follow Jesus's rules for a ticket to a good life' is all kinds of wrong. It's about a relationship, about learning to walk through life with Jesus. Not to escape our current existence, but to learn to live in true freedom whatever our circumstances, because we walk with him. Freedom from anxiety, anger, guilt, shame, freedom to live fully.

This Sunday, we start a new series, 'Freedom: Only Jesus' based on the book of Galatians, found in the New Testament section of the Bible. We'd love for you to join us! The coffee, as always, is hot by 10.15am!

At the Ōtukaikino Reserve, Main North Road, Belfast, Christchurch

As friends of Lamb & Hayward the Ōtukaikino Reserve belongs to you. Situated in the north of Christchurch, by Chaney’s Corner, ‘The Living Memorial’ is a safe haven for wildlife, birds and native plantings, and a sanctuary for us; it’s nature’s reminder that life continues.

You are welcome to bring your family and friends to this year’s service as we remember our loved ones at Ōtukaikino.

Our annual ceremony is unique in that it is conducted outdoors and will be held rain or shine. There is shelter provided, but please come prepared, you may need warm clothing, an umbrella or a sunhat.

At Ōtukaikino we are holding hands with Mother Nature, the weather is out of our control.

If the weather makes the holding of this event unsafe at Ōtukaikino, it will be relocated to our Westpark Chapel at 467 Wairakei Road; this will be advised on our Facebook page, Newstalk ZB and The Breeze community notices.

Note: Please wear sturdy footwear

Car Parking
There are significant road works underway in the vicinity of Ōtukaikino. Please allow time to park in the area provided beside the event location. Lamb & Hayward staff will be on site to direct you.

Dog Food Alert

Judith from Ilam

This is a genuine Alert posted on FaceBook today and if you go to Hills website NZ, you will see their Alert 'response' to this below....."

This is a genuine Alert posted on FaceBook today and if you go to Hills website NZ, you will see their Alert 'response' to this below....."

"I need you to all do me a favor. This is my little fur baby, Duncan. I am sure most of you have seen my posts that Duncan recently died, and I found out two days ago that the cause was that his food, z/d dry and wet dog food, had too much vitamin D in it and caused renal failure. I have spoken to Hills twice. They explained that they were using a 3rd party supplier who did not adequately test their product. When I asked “what quality controls does your company have to ensure the products you receive from suppliers meet quality standards”. The response was “we are putting those into place now. Well, Hills Nutrition....it is too late for my little Duncan. This is inexcusable.

Over the last 2 days there have now been over 4000 posts on the Hills Nutrition page of people indicating their dogs have died of the same symptoms over the past 90 days. Some cats as well. It doesn’t seem to matter if it is wet or dry dog food. Also, today alone I have received two phone calls from a neighbor and a friend indicating their dogs had the same symptoms and died and were using the same dog.
My ask is this......if you love pets or someone you know does, please share this if you can. It may not have the share button, but you can cut and paste my message or do a screenshot and repost it on your page.
Do not be fooled if you use Hills Nutrition Food if it is not on the recall list. They do not check their suppliers work and have no quality controls. They do NOT deserve to be in business.
Also, a large corporate law firm in Chicago reached out to me two days ago and has started a class action suit. If you know of anyone impacted by this who is interested in joining it, have them contact me.
To add insult to injury, during my conversation with Hills they offered me coupons off of new food in the event I get a new dog. This company needs to be put out of business. Switch immediately to another dog food like Royal Canine or make your own food.
Duncan, Mommy loves you and I am so sorry I trusted this company. RIP my love."
