Calm after the storm!
'Strengthening Stakes'

While most of us on the North Shore may have avoided serious damage from Cyclone Vaianu, I’m sure we all prepared for it in some way—clearing gutters and drains, tying down and securing loose garden furniture and bins.                
Doing all of this to strengthen and protect what we value. All of the above reminds me of our new teaching series, Strengthening Stakes, the theme feels especially fitting as we do just that across the board within our church whānau—digging deep into God, encouraging one another in Him, and celebrating all that God is doing in our midst.
This Sunday, we will revisit hearing from our youth and celebrate them. We’ll hear stories from Easter Camp and have an opportunity to pray over them too.
This Sunday is also an amazing opportunity to bring along any young person who may no longer attend church. You might consider inviting someone who used to be involved in youth ministry, someone who used to go to church, or someone who has never been.
Come along and be inspired as we hear from our Youth Pastor, Jayden Shuker, and the Youth Team.
We look forward to seeing you there and celebrating together.
Please note: we will not be live streaming the service this Sunday, as we have many young people contributing.
