WHAT WOULD YOUR ANSWER BE IF JESUS ASKED YOU THAT QUESTION?

Greetings, Shore Vineyard!
It was wonderful to catch up with many of you at the picnic last weekend, and now we're ready to more formally kick off the church year with our first service this Sunday at 10am.
In keeping with the early-year vibes, I'll be posing a question that Jesus asked a few times in the Gospels - what would you like him to do for you (in 2025)? (He really did ask that question - check out Mark 10:35-52 before you come if you'd like to engage more with it). Hopefully from there we'll be able to get in touch with our year ahead and maybe where God may be leading in 2025.
Sunday's service will also have worship, youth and kids ministry, plus communion at the end - a great chance to be together and get back in the flow.
So if you're in Auckland, please come. It would be lovely to see you.
Looking a wee bit further ahead, here are some other important dates to draw to your attention:
Chapel services (first and third Sundays) resume Sunday, February 2, 8.45am.
After-church lunches for different groups to connect and focus on what's happening in 2025 - Ministries Lunch (January 26), Communities Lunch(February 2), Families Lunch (February 9) and Volunteers Celebration Lunch (February 23). Please come to some or all of the ones you relate to.
Worship, AV equipping event, Saturday, March 1.
Camp Out, Friday to Sunday, March 14 to 16, 2025, at Pakiri Beach Holiday Park. Please contact the campsite direct if you would like to book cabins or tent sites.
Bless you, Shore Vineyard. Glad you're in my life; glad I'm in yours.
Vic Francis, Senior Pastor
