Hastings Blossom Festival 2022 Interfaith Events
As part of this year’s Hastings Blossom Festival, there will be an interfaith exhibition on Saturday and Sunday, and an interfaith civic service on Sunday afternoon at 3.00 pm. Everyone is invited to both events.
The interfaith exhibition will be at St Matthew’s Church, 200 King Street South, Hastings, 10.00 am to 4.00 pm on Saturday 23rd, and 12.00 to 3.00 pm on Sunday 24th. The attractive displays will showcase the diverse faith communities in the Bay. Everyone is welcome. A gold coin entry donation will go to St John Ambulance.
The interfaith civic service will also be at St Matthew’s Church on Sunday 24th, beginning at 3.00 pm. This event is open to people of all faiths (or none). A gold coin entry donation will go to St John Ambulance.
Remember to put your clocks forward an hour on Saturday night.
Both events are hosted by the Hawke’s Bay Interfaith group (hbinterfaith@gmail.com)
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
