Samaritan's Purse - Operation Christmas Child
Hello All Neighbourhoods,
Thank you to those that have already picked up shoe boxes, we still have plenty available to fill and we have two more weeks to go. You can collect empty shoe boxes to fill from Bryndwr Baptist Church, cnr of Aorangi and Clyde rd, between the times of 2pm-5pm - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and on Sunday between 10am-12pm. You can also drop your shoe box gifts here too. Please get them in by Sunday 29th October. I can drop shoe boxes off to anyone that would want one or some lol..... There is a pamphlet guide that comes with a shoebox and there is a $10 donation to add on top of your filled shoe box. Your donation of $10 per shoebox is the only way we can cover the costs of this project, including freight, processing centre rent, staff, training distribution teams, advertising and administration. Please feel free to ask me for more info or you can check it out on their website www.samaritanspurse.org.au......... God Bless and Thank you!

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
