Helping others this Easter
Do you know folk in your bubble or neighbours who are a bit IT challenged, or who might be in need of a bit of comfort this Easter? Without church services it’s hard for some to be able to be at peace. Just to say could you help them out by reaching out to folk who might want a religious experience this Easter by letting them know that there is a service on every Sunday at 10.00 on Utube or on channel 200 (yes 200) on free to air TV. There is also one today (Good Friday) at 10.00 and then one this Saturday at 7.30pm – called a Chrism service. For the Utube link you go to movementonline.org.nz... These are open to anyone, and are fairly gentle simple services by a husband and wife team in their bubble in Wanganui,. Both are Anglican priests. The services include talks usually by the Wellington Bishops Justin and Eleanor.
It’s been great to see the help people are offering to others, and I hope you will feel able to reach out in this way to help those who are struggling at this time, regardless of any personal beliefs you might have. Thank you and may God Bless you with His love this Easter.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
