Each day there are suggested activities for children, adults and families focused on a theme based on the traditional Christian Christmas calendar. Check out the website for more details: www.midwinterchristmas.nz...

On the 6th day of Christmas (Fri 26 June), we remember St Egwin of Worcester who was known as a leader who insisted on marital morality. So it's a chance for us to consider the ways the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted marriages and relationships in our community. The recent lockdown, job insecurity, and redundancies have all brought new stresses to our homes.

The combined churches are putting on a free 'Date Night' with coffee and dessert night for couples, along with free childcare and activities (children must be between 3 & 12 years old). The event is being hosted by Gateway Baptist Church at 33 Park Road from ​7 pm - 8:30 pm. Numbers are limited to the first 25 couples so be in quick! Register on the website.
