Following Jesus : The Call : Come and follow me. Small group Notes  Watch the video “How to age Gracefully” What advice would you give to someone who is a couple of years younger than you ?  Share your advice with each other – have some fun with it. It was the 10 year anniversary of the christchurch earthquake last week. Share a memory or two. If you had to give advice to yourself back then, what would you say ? One more story : We read a bit of “The Rabbit Listened” where Taylor builds a block tower and it’s knocked down.  What would you say to taylor when his blocks are knocked down ?  We’re going to pay…

Remembering the earthquakes

It’s been 10 years since the christchurch earthquakes plagued us. Last year was notable in that we moved out of our earthquake damaged building and this year we’re moving back in. While we did so, we found this memorial

January Services

Well we’re in the foyer of our refurbished building.  We gather at 10:30 on Sunday mornings.  It’s kind of stunning for us, but there is still a lot to do. We’ve jury rigged a rough sound system and found a bunch of chairs, but we’re kind of camping while we get all our ducks in a line for using the rest of the building. There’s a fair amount to do. What that means is that we’re not yet recording our services the way we used to, so no podcasts, and no live streaming right now. We hope to get that sorted by February, along with a loooong list of other changes. It’s great to have a building and to get…

Welcome to Level 1

We’re thrilled to be here.  Our national game of Whack-a-mole continues with Covid, so there will continue to be a possibility of tripping back up the levels. Have you got a few masks (Don’t for get you can get them from our church – part of our fundraising for our re-build)? In the meantime, lets keep washing our hands and logging in the covid app, in case the virus appears in Christchurch.  It’s not about fear, but care for others. We know this virus is pretty hard on the elderly and the poor.  So even if you think you are invunerable, good practise makes it less likely that you will pass it on to others. We’re back to being able…

We’re still meeting on Sundays in Level 2

You’d be welcome to join us on Sundays at the Queenspark Primary School hall at 10:30. Level two means we’ve stripped back some of our extras, so sadly no tea or coffee, no chocolates and we encourage people to physically distance.   Here’s a short Vid explaining that We’re still seeking to load up livestreams of services/messages, but are having some technology issues.
