JOINING IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Joanne Wyman-Macer from Mairangi Bay Presbyterian Church

The annual packing of treats donated by members of the Mairangi Bay Presbyterian Church took place on 6 December.
Representatives from the three recipient groups within Presbyterian Support Northern: (Family Start; SHINE and Youth Workers in Secondary Schools) joined in. They each gave a summary of the work they do and how much these gift boxes are appreciated. They have the responsibility of making sure that these boxes get to the families and people who are in need of some cheer.

This year a new record of 82 boxes was achieved as well as 3 bins of donated products that wouldn’t fit in the boxes.

Photos show the hall at the start of the wrapping service as well as a close up of wrapping in progress. It was a joyous occasion.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
