Sacred Space
If you are feeling anxious or stressed, the Ashley Community Church provides a reflective, quiet space for prayer, contemplation, meditation or even to get some work or study done. The building is a deconsecrated church which retains heritage features from its Anglican past. Anyone is welcome to visit respectfully. The Committee does ask that you leave everything as you found it and avoid lighting candles. The Church will be closed for the time being.
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!
