May Update
Kia ora Church,
Nick and I feel so blessed to call you our church family! That we are all together at this time in history, in this part of the world, with all the uniqueness we each bring while loving and serving Jesus together that’s quite a special and significant thing to wrap your head around.
A recent highlight for us personally is that last week we joined with a group of pastors from Oceania and went and visited Oihi Bay, the location where the gospel was first preached in NZ. It was truly a life changing trip for us and I’m sure you’ll hear more about it over coming months.
This May…
May you continue to love Jesus with passion and curiosity.
May you sense His presence and peace in your day to day life.
May you lean into the encouragement found within community.
May you believe for miracles and live lives that walk in the fruit of bold faith.
May you be salt and light to all around you.
May you have FUN and laugh a lot!
We love you a lot!
See you Sunday!
Below are a few events coming up that we'd love you to know about.
Love Nick & Sarah
We're SO looking forward to celebrating all the mothers and women of the church on Sunday May 10th at the 10am and 6pm gatherings. We're going to have a gift for all women, honour some exceptional mums, worship and a word for everyone.
Photo booth, candy floss, popcorn, jumping castle.
Why not bring a significant woman in your life?
On Saturday 9th May from 2 - 4pm we are hosting a huge party for kids and their families to come along and celebrate receiving their Kids Winter Warm Up packs. These packs are wholly sponsored by Stoney Creek. We will be inviting everyone who comes along to our Mothers Day gatherings the next day.
We want to make this time really special (think bouncy castles, candy floss, bbq, super hero characters, face painting, craft activities, etc). This will be the first time many of the families receiving packs will have come into Curate Church, and it's a great opportunity to be welcoming.
We need your help to make this party awesome! If you are keen to help, and are available from 12pm ish, fill in your details in the form below and we'll be in touch. We're also looking for people who could help with set up on the Friday (8th May) and with clothing pack deliveries on the Monday (11th May).
Calling all women! Bring your friends, sisters, daughters, mums, aunties, and join us on Tuesday 12th May at 6.30pm for a beautiful evening of fun, celebration, connecting, learning, and being in God's presence. Free kids programme available. We can't wait!
We've been in a Sunday message series called "Jesus IS . . ." and it has been really powerful. If you've missed any of the messages, you can catch up with them on YouTube.
On Sunday May 24th, we are so excited to have Dr. Van Shore with us. Van and his wife Heazel are good friends of our church and is looking forward to being back and sharing a special message around Pentecost.
