The Christmas Avenue of Trees
We have 60+ decorated trees this year and the Levin Salvation Army Worship Centre is certainly looking very sparkly and glittering with lights. The trees will be open to the public this Friday, Saturday and Sunday night from 6pm until 8.30pm . Come and wander through The Avenue of Trees, listen to the Salvation Army Band, let the kids do the quizz, and see what a talented and clever community we live in. There is a vast variety of decorations and every tree is different!.
Entry is either a gold coin donation or an item of food, a cleaning product or toiletry to go to the Interchurch foodbank.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
