We will focus on God’s love for us, and the inner beauty and treasure of each person. We will be challenged and we will be encouraged as we continue our restoration to and through Christ. To be ready for Sunday, read Gen 1:27, Eph chapter 2 and 4.

Please remember to collect your toolbox and the items we have added so far:

• a pencil to remind us of God's plan
• a puzzle piece to remind us we each have a part to play in God's great restoration project
• a piece of sandpaper to remind us that we all need God to keep reminding us of places that need to be smoothed and refined.
• a tape measure symbolising that we need to "take measure," take action and evaluate what needs more and what needs less attention in our lives.

Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal
This appeal runs across Aotearoa New Zealand and raises vital funds for The Salvation Army’s work with some of our most vulnerable whānau. Here in Pukekohe, funding from this appeal helps fund the Salvation Army's Community Ministries work (services like our foodbank, drop-in centre, financial mentoring, and other advocacy). You can find more information about this national fundraising appeal here.
Volunteers are needed for the period 5 - 10 May, across seven sites in the wider Franklin area. 

If you can help for 1 hour (or more), please contact Rebecca directly at rebecca.moffat@salvationarmy.org.nz
