THE ALPHA COURSE: Exploring some of the big questions about life, God and faith

Elisabeth Price from St Chads Church and Community Centre

WHERE: St Chads Church and Community Centre, 38 Saint Johns Road, St Johns, Auckland.

WHEN: Starting Wednesday 19 June from 6:45 - 9pm, for seven weeks.

WHAT: We commit to creating a safe and hospitable space where people can thoughtfully and respectfully explore some of the big questions about life and God. Each week will start with a meal and then we will explore one of the following themes through video content and discussion: Is there more to life than this? Who is Jesus? Why did Jesus die? How can I have faith? Why and how do I pray? Why and how should I read my Bible?

Please send your expression of interest to alpha@stchads.org.nz

Why not come along to our first session on 19 June and see if it is for you.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

Strong winds on Harbour Bridge

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Metservice is predicting strong winds across Auckland this afternoon and are urging caution if you need to use the Harbour Bridge.

What you need to know:
- Gusts are predicted to reach between 75 – 80 km/h between 2pm and 4pm.
- The bridge lane formation will most likely stay in a 4 x 4 formation.
- Motorists are urged to drive to the conditions and look out for the electronic message boards which will indicate lane closures and reduced speeds, and stay within their lane while travelling across the bridge.
- Drivers of high sided vehicles and motorcyclists are advised to avoid the Auckland Harbour Bridge and use the western ring route on State Highways 16 and 18.
