Every March, Neighbours Aotearoa offers a great opportunity for churches to connect with the people in your neighbourhood and community. The 2025 theme is, ‘Let’s Celebrate with our Neighbours’. This is our event:

GARAGE SALE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE MENZSHED THIS Saturday 8th March from 9am. Please bring any items for sale in the day before. Home baking, jams and preserves greatly appreciated. NO used clothing.Some help on the day also appreciated. See Warren for more information.

Articles are now being sought for the next ’Messenger’. Please email any contributions to Charlotte & Sally (hooty@xtra.co.nz) by 16th March. Thank you.

CONSERVATION – Week 20. This week’s tip needs a bit of will power and could be somewhat life changing – volunteer time and money to conservation. The ECO Church would be a good start for both time and money. Unfortunately, our present government is going in the opposite direction. As far as Luxton is concerned; the economy come before endangered animals. This forces the workload to volunteers.

World Day of Prayer: St Ninian’s Presbyterian Church, Puriri St, Riccarton on Friday 7th March at 10am to which everyone is invited.

“Love Grace” Handbag Appeal for Women’s Refuge in memory of Grace Millane – if you have any handbags you no longer need, the collection points for this appeal are any BNZ bank or Cracroft florist. Closing date 8th March.

We’re seeking a volunteer to list the old piano on Trade Me. If you can help, please speak to Leona.

There is also an Ash Wednesday service at Beckenham Methodist Church at 7.30pm. All are most welcome at any of these services.
