Hi neighbours!

From the outside (and sadly, sometimes for those on the inside too), church can look like a bunch of rules to follow. The idea that Christianity is a case of, 'Follow Jesus's rules for a ticket to a good life' is all kinds of wrong. It's about a relationship, about learning to walk through life with Jesus. Not to escape our current existence, but to learn to live in true freedom whatever our circumstances, because we walk with him. Freedom from anxiety, anger, guilt, shame, freedom to live fully.

This Sunday, we start a new series, 'Freedom: Only Jesus' based on the book of Galatians, found in the New Testament section of the Bible. We'd love for you to join us! The coffee, as always, is hot by 10.15am!

A total fire ban for Christchurch, the Port Hills and Banks Peninsula has been issued as the fire risk reaches similar levels to those before the Port Hills fires two years ago.

The ban, which prohibits any outdoor fires in the open air being lit, comes into force at midnight on Tuesday.

The Waimakariri, Selwyn and Hurunui districts remain in a restricted fire season which meant only permitted fires could be lit. If the scorching hot weather continues, those areas were also expected to be in a total fire ban by the end of next week.
