Carol Service
Wesley Methodist Church Hawera will host, on Sunday the 10th December at 4pm a Service of Lessons and Carols for Christmas, with the Madrigal Companie from New Plymouth providing the choir for this special occasion.
It is a presentation of readings from the Bible, favourite carols for community singing and specially prepared music from the choir and organ. “Altogether it is a simple and memorable way to join together for a reminder of Christmas joy and love” says the director of the Madrigal Companie, Leon Paix. “We sang here last year and enjoyed it so much that we decided to come again. Sharing the spirit of Christmas is a really special thing to do – we love it!” Carols will include Away in a manger and O come all ye faithful, while the choir will present ancient and modern including What sweeter music by the contemporary composer John Rutter and O Magnum Mysterium by the 16th century composer de Victoria.
There is no ticket charge, just a welcome to all who come and enjoy.

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.

Bowen Therapy for back pain
Many mothers suffer years of back pain. Often they tell me that they had pain during pregnancy and it never came right.
They carry their toddlers on their hip, contort their backs to get the baby in and out of the car seat, lift their toddlers 100 times a day.
And often they add a back injury or two over the years.
Bowen therapy can help with back pain.
It can help release the fascia, and allow for reduction of pain and increase of flexibility.
Its gentle approach often allows the pelvis to realign itself, taking pressure of muscles and reducing discomfort.
Are you a mother with back pain? Try Bowen, it might just be what you have been looking for. Contact me via phone, email, messenger, or just book your appointment directly online:
