May 19 Gisborne dedication / Tui Ridge Open day


Gisborne church dedicated their church building and opened their new hall last Sabbath.  It was a special day as friends and family from Australia and around New Zealand joined Pr Allan Brown and the Gisborne members to celebrate God’s greatness.  Special music was provided by Pr Dyason Kuresa and the Pakuranga church choir.  Pr Jerry Matthews (NZPacific Union President) presented the dedication message.  Gisborne Mayor, Mr Meng Foon, opened the service with words of appreciation and a testimony of his positive association with Adventists over the years.  Well done Gisborne!

Tui Ridge Park held an open day last Sunday for contractors who had worked on the recent developments there.  They also invited the neighbours for the afternoon tour, presentation and tea.  Andrew West (Tui Ridge Park Manager) and his team shared with the visitors the vision that we as a church have for the new development: a vision of being able to contribute well to the needs of the local and national community.
