Sunday 17th February

Activate Church Christchurch

Hi neighbours!

From the outside (and sadly, sometimes for those on the inside too), church can look like a bunch of rules to follow. The idea that Christianity is a case of, 'Follow Jesus's rules for a ticket to a good life' is all kinds of wrong. It's about a relationship, about learning to walk through life with Jesus. Not to escape our current existence, but to learn to live in true freedom whatever our circumstances, because we walk with him. Freedom from anxiety, anger, guilt, shame, freedom to live fully.

This Sunday, we start a new series, 'Freedom: Only Jesus' based on the book of Galatians, found in the New Testament section of the Bible. We'd love for you to join us! The coffee, as always, is hot by 10.15am!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
