Advent Art Competition

Ruth from Orewa

We are excited to announce that HCPC is running an art competition that is open to the Hibiscus Coast community. This competition will have some prizes - so why not take a chance.

Competition Briefing:

2021 has been tough enough - we hope your art will help all of us experience the wonder of Christmas in a new way. Please Paint, Draw, or Sculpt an art piece that ties into advent and represents one (or more) of the four advent themes: Hope, Love, Joy, and Peace. Each piece should be accompanied by a short description of what it represents, who made it, the age of the creator, and contact details so we can be in touch.



To submit an art piece, please arrange with our minister for a contactless drop-off at 107 Centreway Rd. This can be done via email (minister@hibiscuscoastpresbyterian.org.nz).



Closing date for submissions is December 19, and winners will be announced on December 24 via our Facebook page and direct contact.



Please note that Art will be returned early in 2022 and may be displayed on site and/or our digital platforms (Facebook/Website etc)

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
