Art Challenge for Children
On August 12th St John's Anglican Craft Group are hosting another art exhibition and silent auction to raise funds for African Famine Relief. This year we'd love donations of art from children and young people. Paintings, drawings or collage no bigger than A3 size can be dropped off to the church office, High St Rangiora or the church lounge before July 16 with name of child and contact details on the back. All art will be for sale to raise funds, but there will be prizes available for children's art entries.

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!
