A Night of Christmas Serenade
All immigrant families experience a period of adjustment when settling into a new culture. Some are aware of Christmas but haven’t celebrated it before. They may feel isolated from the traditions and practices (both religious and secular), held over the festive season in our community. They may not know our popular customs of exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals with family and friends and of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive.
If you know of people in your neighbourhood like this, why not bring them along to C3 Howick Church, 27 Aviemore Drive, Highland Park on Friday, 24 November at 7:30pm for an evening of Christmas cheer. In this season of goodwill the evening is FREE. You’ll be warmly welcomed with an evening of music followed by refreshments. R.S.V.P. for catering purposes to c3 church office on 09 537 5146 or info@c3howick.org.nz

💡 A Little Brain Buzz for You⚡
I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new

Pick 'N' Mix Textiles for Adults & Teens
Pick 'N' Mix is at Highland Park Library this Sunday (22nd March) 12.30pm - 3.30pm
Support sustainability and get creative with the Thread Exchange!
This hands‑on programme encourages the re‑use of fabric and showcases how fun and accessible sewing can be. Using a specialised cutting machine, you’ll select and cut out a pre‑designed sewing project—anything from small accessories to simple craft items.
Once your pieces are ready, you can stay and assemble your project in the library, enjoying a relaxed, social crafting environment, or take the pieces home to complete them yourself or for someone else. It’s a great way to try a new skill, share resources, and keep perfectly good fabric from being wasted.
This session is open to adults and teens of all sewing levels, from absolute beginners to experienced makers. Friendly assistance is available to help those new to sewing.
All materials are provided—just bring your creativity and enthusiasm!
There will also be some pieces of fabric for sale at bargain prices!
