Sunday 14th April
Hi neighbours!
This Sunday, Mike Robb wraps up our series, What if our brokenness were a bridge, not a barrier? This series has explored the damage that shame and guilt can wreak on us, and how God wants to set us free from those knots to live fully. Mike will be looking at the story of The Prodigal Son, and what we can learn about God's heart toward us.
Hope you can join us, as always, the coffee is hot from 10.15am and this week, the youth group will be selling nacho's for lunch to raise money for Easter Camp - just $5 a plate, delicious!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
