ANZAC 2020, Island Bay : Commemorating from our “bubbles” at 10am this Saturday
Traditionally, the churches of Island Bay hold an ANZAC service at Island Bay School. This year, leaders of the churches of Island Bay have prepared a video service for us: an ANZAC Message, prayer, reading from “For the Fallen”, a bugle call, then a minute’s silence.
At 10am on Saturday 25 April, gather in your bubble – in your driveway, garden or lounge – to pause, reflect and commemorate ANZAC Day. Here's the link: youtu.be...
Here are other ways our ANZACs:
Make a paper or chalk poppy to decorate the front of your house.
AND
Listen to the dawn service, 6am on National Radio

ANZAC Day is a time to pay respect and acknowledge the many thousands of our military people who are serving or have served, who are called upon to support New Zealand in times of war, conflict and disasters. We can’t gather as we might normally, but we can still remember.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
