Recently the church removed all pews to accommodate groups wishing to hire our facilities..
To help pay for our new auditorium heating and wonderful new seating, we're holding a garage sale on Sat 1 August, and invite locals to donate saleable items to the garage sale. Please bring goods to the church door at any time before Saturday 1st. This includes, clothing, toys, furnishing, working electrical, books, music, sporting equipment, plants and more... Just not heavy furniture thank you.
We are at 88 The Parade, Island Bay, city end of the shops :)
Our thanks!
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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
