BELL RINGING, CANDLE LIGHTING AND PRAYER
Tomorrow at St Andrew's Anglican Church in Pukekohe, (corner of Queen and Wesley St) at 3pm the Church bell will be rung 50 times, once for each person tragically killed in Christchurch last Friday.
Other churches throughout our country have also been invited to ring their bells as we remember the events that shocked our country.
Following careful discussion with the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet who are representing those Government agencies working with the Christchurch Muslim community, 3pm was chosen for this memorial
This is to occur between the broadcast Call to Prayer starting at 1.30 pm follo2 minutes silence at 1.32 and funerals of victims which are to take place at 4.00 pm tomorrow.
If there are members of the Muslim community or anyone else who would like to join us for the bell ringing you would be most welcome.
This would also be a good time to come in and light a memorial candle.
The church will be open all day for candle lighting.

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!
