Celebrate Christmas at LIFE!
Christmas is a time for people to come together. In a divided world, the need for peace and reconciliation is greater than ever.
Peace with one another, peace with ourselves and ultimately, peace with God. We invite you and your whānau to come along to LIFE Central, a church to call home for one of our Christmas services.
Discover and experience peace on earth on Christmas Eve and Day for a special time of carols, an encouraging message and much more!

Time for a clear-out?
Delve back into that garage or wardrobe! It's time to sell your gently-loved goods at The Neighbourly Winter (online!) Garage Sale
On Saturday 6th July, members will be online checking out the goods on offer so it's a great time to get rid of your winter clutter.
Maybe it's time to realise that you're never going to use that snowboard or ski jacket, and that you really do have one too many heaters. Whatever it is, take a picture and put it on Neighbourly for locals to see.
