Nine Lessons & Carols with Franklin Community Choir

Cecily from Pukekohe

We have two special Christmas services this Sunday, December 8, at St Andrew's Anglican Church in Pukekohe.

At 9.30am we bring out our angels and shepherds to share the Nativity story through the CHRISTMAS PAGEANT, a not-always-traditional retelling of those events in a Bethlehem stable more than 2000 years ago. All are welcome to join in or just enjoy.

At 7pm we have NINE LESSONS AND CAROLS featuring the Franklin Community Choir. This lovely service will be a combined service with St Patrick's Catholic Church. All welcome.

St Andrew's is the red brick church on the corner of Queen St and Wesley St. Come and join us in our Christmas celebrations!

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
