Christmas at Tamaki

Emmanuel - God with us was the theme of our Christmas Eve Service this year. It was a lovely evening with most if not all our families present. It was great to catch up with people of our parish who have moved overseas or to another part of NZ - back home for Christmas. Our Sunday school and youth prepared carols, a gameshow, dances, plays and a group song for our parish. The service was enjoyed by all present. Around 10pm - warm hugs were exchanged at the conclusion of our service. Some looking like they would stay catching up in the church carpark right up to midnight!
Glory be to God for all that was shared and celebrated - this the day we remember his birth.
God bless and keep you all safe in his steadfast care.
Have a blessed festive season.
