Welcome to the Connection Corner
Connection Corner is our weekly publication bringing you insight and information so that we can stay connected. 


There is such a great sense of excitement as we head towards celebrating Easter this Sunday, Resurrection Sunday. We remember all that Jesus has sacrificed for us by dying on the cross for us, but let’s also remember that Jesus rose from the dead and He is alive! Jesus is risen!

Please take some time for yourselves over this Easter time to connect with God. He longs to be in relationship with you.

Planning Center - Church App

We had a great discussion around access of people's email and phone numbers at the last church meeting. Unfortunately, or fortunately, Planning Center have just implemented a security feature that has turned off all email and phone number sharing. This is to protect from scammers who were accessing people’s information. We will continue to investigate this and try to work out a way to share information safely. As it stands at the moment, a contact box appears when you click on someone's name, which enables you to send them a message.

Sunday 31 March - Resurrection Sunday - Sandra Bruin
Easter is probably one of the most significant events on the Christian calendar. This week Sandra will take us on a journey through 12 stations of the cross (in a child friendly way) until we get to the empty tomb. Jesus is Risen!  

Luke 24: 2-6 "They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,  but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, the men said to them, ‘Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!"


Come and join us on Sunday to celebrate the risen Lord and what that means for us. You're welcome to join us in the café afterwards for Hot Cross buns and Easter eggs.

Join us at 10AM in-person or online.  Unfortunately we are aware that Covid is on the rise again. We would love to have you join us online for the service if you are not able or unwell. Please contact us if you need support info@fbc.nz
