Books, Bagels & Banter
📚🥯🎤✨ Books, Bagels & Banter 2025 – Get Involved! ✨🎤🥯📚
Preparations are well underway, and we can’t wait to reveal this year’s speakers soon!
As always, the success of Books, Bagels & Banter relies on the generous support of our parish community. Here’s how you can help:
📖 Donate Your Unwanted Books
Drop off good-quality books at the office (Tues–Fri, 9:30am–12:30pm) or in the blue box at the back of the church. No encyclopaedias, atlases, magazines, or Reader’s Digests, please.
📚 Help Sort Books
A big thank you to everyone who has helped so far! We still have plenty to sort—if you can spare an hour or two, join us in the church hall on Wednesday between 9.30am–12 noon.
📢 Spread the Word!
We’d love your help in promoting the event—tell your friends, family, book clubs and colleagues. Pick up flyers at the back of the church or share this post to your friends and family.
Thank you for your support! 💙 #BooksBagelsBanter #CommunityEvent #SupportLocal #GetInvolved #BooksAndBagels

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
