We are looking for donations of baking such as cookies/truffles/slices, or fruit such as strawberries/grapes or any other treats like marshmallows/scorched almonds/chocolates.
The shows start on November 17 and run through till the start of December. Please get in touch with Zoie if you would like help on 021.026.34787 or email [email protected]

The Prayer Team have set up the room to create an environment which will help us to pray. We would love this room to be used right throughout the week.

Advent
Attention Families: The Advent Tree 2018 has arrived! It takes families through the four stages of Advent - the journey to Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus, the angelic visitation to the shepherds and the arrival of the wise men. Each day of December there is something to add to the tree, Scripture to be read, questions to be answered or activities to be completed and hidden objects to find on the city map. This year there are also decorations that can be added to the family Christmas Tree. $5 each and available at the Orbit Welcome desk in the Link before or after church.
Also, the Bible Society of NZ has many copies of a beautiful Story book that tells the story of Jesus birth. It is available at https://biblesociety.org.nz/our-bible-projects/pass-it-on/the-well-good-news-of-christmas/ and would make a perfect gift for a family that doesn’t know Jesus yet.
