Sunday 16th September
Hi neighbours!
Matthew 22:37-40 (The Message). Jesus said, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your passion & prayer & intelligence.’ This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s Law & the Prophets hangs from them.”
At our 10:30am Sunday gathering this week, John Pritchard will speak about the Prayer of Jabez (1 Chronicles 4:10) a prayer asking to be blessed to be a blessing. As always, the coffee is hot from 10.15am - hope you can join us!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
