Cession Community

This Sunday we celebrate Easter with our now Annual Whānau Fun Night with egg and spoon races (watch out for the trickery Nicola and Melissa have scrambled up for it this year!), cookie decorating and prizes that are full of Easter treats.

With this service including a bit of extra fun, alongside our normal worship time and sermon, this is a great service to invite friends and whānau to.

Tomorrow at cession:
BREATHE SUNDAY - 9 November
Shared Meal - bring a plate of food to share and with our powers combined we'll feed the community. This shared meal will operate on a 'bring what you can' philosophy. If you're not able to bring something or forget, it's all good - there will be plenty to go around.
Sharing Table - too many fejoas? and abundance of rosemary - bring them along to the sharing table and share the love.
Open Sharing - there will be opportunities for the community to share their own stories about what God is doing in their lives. There's no pressure to share, but an open invitation to everyone in the community to share.
Worship & Prayer - On Breathe Sundays we'll provide extra space for worship and prayer.
5:00 pm Shared Community Meal
