The Great Mid-Winter Christmas 'Date Night' - Fri 26 June 7 - 8.30pm at Gateway Baptist Church, 33 Park Rd, Miramar
The local churches on the Miramar Peninsula are working together to host a 'Mid-Winter Christmas' extravaganza featuring 12 days of activities and events to light up the neighborhood. Each day there are suggested activities for children, adults and families focused on a theme based on the traditional Christian Christmas calendar. Check out the website for more details: www.midwinterchristmas.nz...
On the 6th day of Christmas (Fri 26 June), we remember St Egwin of Worcester who was known as a leader who insisted on marital morality. So it's a chance for us to consider the ways the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted marriages and relationships in our community. The recent lockdown, job insecurity, and redundancies have all brought new stresses to our homes.
The combined churches are putting on a free 'Date Night' with coffee and dessert night for couples, along with free childcare and activities (children must be between 3 & 12 years old). The event is being hosted by Gateway Baptist Church at 33 Park Road from 7 pm - 8:30 pm. Numbers are limited to the first 25 couples so be in quick! Register on the website.

This is a tough one, neighbours, can you figure out all of them?
Before any changes, I’m a garlic or spice.
My first is altered and I’m a hand-warming device.
My second is changed and I’m trees in full bloom.
The next letter change makes a deathly old tomb.
Change the fourth to make a fruit of the vine.
Change the last for a chart plotted with lines.
What was I? What did I become? What did I turn out to be?
