Matthew 25
He Auaha Hou – Made New
He Auaha Hōu – Made New
Our theme for 2018 is Made New. This draws from the Thai New Year festival known as ‘Songkran’ and is a time of renewal, cleansing and honouring. It’s also a traditional festival that has been contextualised by the Church, symbolising forgiveness and renewal through the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. So we focus along these lines specifically concentrated on ‘A New Spirit’, ‘ A New Perspective’ and ‘A New Generation’.

Treasures Handed Down
Prayer and Self Denial 2017
Each year we partner with the New Zealand Baptist Missionary Society supporting Prayer and Self-Denial. It is not just about the financial resources raised or the prayer support targeted at our NZBMS team. It is also about us recognizing that we are a part of a wider Baptist family that goes beyond our town, our region, and our nation. This year the focus is on Taonga/Treasure: The Gospel as Treasure, People are Treasure, and Where is your Treasure?
“The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field.”
Matthew 13:44
“For you are a holy people who belong to the Lord your God. Of all people on Earth, the Lord your God has chosen you to be His own special treasure.” Deuteronomy 7:6
“Where ever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.”
Matthew 6:21
