Cherished memories of the last 30 years

This slideshow was watched during our Sunday morning service. This is the first of three parts that were presented. This was presented after members of our parish shared testimonies about their time in the church. A very rich time of history for all. We got to hear about the last 30 years and more. It's awesome that this place of worship has been used for God's work for over a hundred years.

30th Anniversary for Tamaki PIPC

We've just finished celebrating 30 years as a PIPC. It was a hugely successful event in that we had people smiling, crying and singing God's praises all weekend! We promise to bring you a more detailed report soon. Hopefully our little movies will give you a picture of how it was.

Here's the first of our snippets from our Masquerade Ball. This is our Sunday School prize section. Check out the fantastic masks. We had some very creative entries! You can leave us a comment of which masks you think are the best! Check out the panda!

What's on your mind?

Bible Class led our morning service a couple of weeks ago. Our message 'Having heaven on my mind'.
Recently we had a Bible Class camp that had the title - Camp Umm - Umm for being indecisive about what we do for ourselves, our families, our parish and most importantly for our Lord. We had a series of workshops that looked at the levels stated in the Bible - through to things that can prevent or help us to move through these different levels. By the end of our studies we learned the following: BC yell out phrase...

With all this in mind, the over-riding theme that sums up how the Lord can take us to the next level is the making sure heaven is on our minds. If that’s our destination then our actions should to work towards it. We need to wake up from our sleep, stand, walk and then run.
Run as Paul said - unto perfection. Run with heaven on our mind.

Tamaki's 29th Anniversary Ball 09 Slideshow Part II

Black and White Bonanza 2008

Last year's annual church dance had the theme of 'Black and White Bonanza'. It was a night of dancing and disco games that had our parish on their feet most of the night. Whilst the games were planned for the children our parents didn't hold back and were right in there competing for the prizes on offer!

A highlight of the evening was a dance challenge between the Sunday School teachers and students. The students were amazed by the slick dance moves of their teachers. This definately made the heart merry ' A merry heart doeth good like a medicine'...do you know where this is found in the Bible?

The games and dance battle was followed by a parade of some very creative costumes!

These types of events are always enjoyed by our parish, an opportunity to kick back and relax while the Sunday School teachers treat us all to a fun night of fellowship.
All we have to do is dress up and come along!
This time next week we hope to bring you photos and some short movies of our annual dance that will be on this coming weekend - 16th May, as mentioned in our recent post 'Tamaki's got talent'. It's all on! Our classes and teachers are all practicing hard for this competition! We are all looking forward to what God willing - will be another super time together!

Don't forget to leave us a comment! Our children are keen to share more with you!

Attached are some photos from our 2008 Black and White Bonanza.
