As part of our church life we have a team of people who meet from time to time to discuss worship and plan for significant times in our church year. As Easter approaches our Creative Worship Team is meeting on Tuesday 16th February at 7.30pm in the quiet room at the church. Anyone who would like to come along and think about the way we worship together is most welcome. For any information please see Margaret Reeson.

Lent is the period of 40 days before Easter and begins with the day called Ash Wednesday. Lent is a time of reflection as we approach Easter and Ash Wednesday begins that time of reflection. For anyone who would like to come along there will be a simple, brief Ash Wednesday service at 8.30pm on Wednesday 10th February. All welcome.

Oasis is our primary aged children’s group which meets following morning tea each Sunday during school term time. Each year we need two leaders; one for terms 1 & 3 and one for terms 2 & 4. Ngaire Hosking is our leader for this term and then term 3, but we still need a leader for terms 2 & 4. All the material is provided and we see this as an important part of our church life. If you would like to discuss being a leader please see Mark.

Next Sunday First Sunday Converse and Café is on. A time of alternative worship and reflection with music, faith conversation & prayer. Beginning at 6pm, and then for any who would like we share a meal at a local café afterwards. All are welcome to this relaxed gathering.
