“And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.” Mark 8:31

For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son …. Resurrection Day – probably THE singular most important day in human history. In His resurrection Jesus proved the veracity of all He had been teaching and re-affirmed the reliability of all God had promised – both events that had happened previously and all those still to come.

Community Gardening Project – due to construction the garden was disassembled. We now have additional space at the back section that has been flattened for us for even more garden space. A new project re-assembling and extending the gardens is being planned for work shortly … watch here for details.

After Easter VBS – Vacation Bible School for young people. Before the buildings are demolished to make way for our build we will have our Vacation Bible School. Running for some 16 years now this has gone from strength to strength with many young people sharing the first week of their school holidays together at St. John’s. If you are interested contact the Minister (Colin) on 021750362.

Last year’s very successful VBS …

We were privileged to have Mark James from Creation Ministries International give a presentation to St John’s. You can watch a recording below.

Each month we have a team that assists with worship at Auckland City Hospital. Once a year people from multiple churches join together to take Christmas carols to the wards and encourage and cheer the patients. It is a great privilege to be able to share in this blessing to those in need… and a lot of fun too.

Some of the great team of helpers that turned up in shifts to help with our fundraiser. It was great to hear the positive community feedback and support for the new community center that is out there in the wider community.

Our annual Cafe, Carols and Communion service is a fun time to celebrate the year.

What a wonderful day we had for our annual St John’s Day celebration! Thank you to all those who participated and who worked together in the church and in the kitchen to make this a day to remember. So many awesome gifts and talents on display … not to mention the food … praise the Lord!
