A number of years ago Ged Hickling had an impression from the LORD concerning Halloween. It was simply this "That there would come a generation who would not participate in halloween, simply because the alternative, the Light Party, was the accepted norm". So Ged has set about year after year co ordinating the Taumarunui Light Party. All the Christian Churches in our community particiapte. Acts Church (Apostolic),Anglican, Baptist, Catholic,Gospel Chapel, Seventh Day Adventist, St Pauls Parish,Maori Anglican."Its great working together" Ged reported after this recent event. "It spreads the load and shows the wider community that churches do work as one"

Pastor Bob...

loves to muck around with cars on his day off. He says "Its a great way to relax" This is what his latest project will look like when its finished!!








He finally got the VW finished. One day in the main street a lady came up to him and said "My son is coming up 7 years old and I asked him what he wanted for his birthday?" My son said "A ride in pastor Bobs car" So thats just what Ps B did. Took him for a ride, showed him round his workshop. Spent the morning with the little guy, then gave him these photos laminated. The things we do!
