Lotu a Tamaiti 2010



A sea of white flowed through our church doors and filled our pews. Beautiful singing was to be heard...all coming from what seemed an endless line of beautiful children. Boys and girls, strutting their stuff in their newest white clothing. A scene certainly to make any parent happy and reminded of the precious gift we have in children.

This year's service had so many different and valuable messages for parents and families alike. Stories of creation, the tempting of Jesus, Joseph and Jephthah were presented to us today by our children. Some made us smile, laugh and cry as we received and reflected on their messages.


Well done to all our children, teachers, Tama and Tina who prepared another uplifting White Sunday for us all to enjoy and grow from. We hope you had an enjoyable lunch with family and friends. God's blessings be upon us all as we venture into the last few months of the year.

Ia manuia outou matua, ae ola matou le fanau. Ia soifua ona o Iesu.

  1. Thouroughly enjoyed White Sunday 2010. What a moving story - that of Jephthahs vow to God to give back to Him the first person to come from his house to greet him should God give him victory over the Ammonites. The Lord certainly works in ways far beyond our understanding and comprehension. Thanks to all the teachers and kids for another year of learning more about Gods word.

  2. Talofa God's people!

    Yes, as Ray has mentioned, this year was a very moving year of God's word "shared for all." From the talented acting skills of the young adults to the teary eyed lines of the kindy department, God used his children as instruments of his stories and teachings. Praise God!And thank you to all the parents for your time and effort in preparing your children to participate in a very emotional, educational, community-based form of worship. AMEN!

  3. Love the Photo LOL...All praise to God for our wonderful children who pulled out all the stops to ensure that their delivery of their parts were to the best of their ability...This was the 30th year of lotu tamaiti performed at PIPC Tamaki...OMG I can actually remember the first one in the old hall - lovely memories of the old families laughing at our pronounciations...thank goodness there were no video taping back then. "I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. I will constantly speak of his glories and grace"(Psalms 34:1)...Soifua ma ia manuia...Rona
