Food for LIFE
On a hot Sunday afternoon in January. We put up the marquee and had an old fashioned picnic on the lawn nest to church. Grateful for the shelter form the sun we enjoyed each others company and food!
It was a great chance to connect with one another, have longer conversations and even get a little competitive over some games.
Check out the photos below, and if you didn’t make it this time. See you at the next one.
We are beginning a new series on the 1st of March. Join us for a series on ‘conversational skills’ and the tools we need to engage in meaningful conversations with others. The gospel has always been good news and in the changing cultural landscape we find ourselves in, we need new tools. Come and discover a way to have spiritual conversations.

Our series begins on January 19th. See you there.

Early in 2018 Pastor Alastair Hall from Manukau City Baptist Church, joined us on a journey to all of our contexts overseas where our Tranzsend people live and serve.

Doing the Matthew 25 Challenge has been a transforming experience for us as a family. It was a way for our children to realise that many people lack the basic necessities and that we should care for them.

We are excited to take on the Matthew 25 Challenge together and see how God works in our families and church.
