Displays Tell the Easter Story
The Pukekohe Anglican Church has created two displays using flowers, sculpture and artwork to help people immerse themselves in the story of Easter over the next few weeks.
The "Journey Towards Easter" garden and "Experiencing Easter" indoors display are now open for people to visit.
The Easter Garden, prepared by the Pukekohe Anglican Church and Pukekohe Garden Friends, with generous donations of plants from Mitre 10, is in the Vicarage garden beside St Andrew's Church, on the corner of Queen St and Wesley St in Pukekohe.
The indoor display, created by Ann Rollinson, is in a room on the courtyard in the St Andrew's complex.
Both displays have a guide to contemplation and prayer for each of the stations represented, and places to sit and think about the unfolding of the Easter story.
They are open daily until a week after Easter, with free entry. All are welcome.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
88.5% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
11.5% No. This would be impossible in practice.
