Children's Sunday - 26th July 2015Our Annual Children's Sunday was well attended by family, friends and relatives. The children did well with their songs, memory verses and drama. The theme this year was: ‘Love’, 'Love' led Jesus to feed thousands miraculously and abundantly. ‘Love’ also led Jesus to help the disciples reach land immediately. As Christians, 'Love should move us into action, into helping others'. After the service, everyone joined together for food fellowship in the hall.

Good Friday Walk:The Mt Albert Combined Churches again joined together in the Good Friday Walk. Hundreds of people gathered on a wet and windy Good Friday to take part in the Good Friday Walk. At 10AM they all gathered at the St Mary’s Catholic Church for their first station message on The Last Supper, before they came to the 2nd station, our Church at 10.30. Our Youth put together a Youth version drama of the Gethsemane story as part of our contribution. Our Church was packed, the foyer was packed and some had to stay outside as they couldn't fit into the Church. Christianity is still alive and well received in Mt Albert, and the locals continue to value the Good Friday tradition. The Good Friday Walk then, moved on to the 3rd station, Mt Albert Methodist Church at 11am where they received message on the Trial of Jesus. At 11.30am, they were at the 4th station, St Lukes Anglican Church for the 'Crucifixion of Jesus' message. By 12noon, they were at the Mt Albert Baptist Church for station 5: 'Death an Burial of Jesus'. Thanks to the Salvation Army, refreshment was provided and then served for everyone to sit down and enjoy. We look forward to another display of Christian unity in Mt Albert next year.
World Day of Prayer:In 2014, we joined with other Christian Churches in the Owairaka region in the Annual World Day of Prayer, hosted by Hosanna World Harvest Church, Owairaka. The service was well attended by both youth and old, and well supported by Christian Churches in the region. Our Youth contributed an action song, which encouraged participation, in worship in the house of God. We look forward to the same event next year.
