Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday Schedule
We will hold a Good Friday Service on 18 April at 3:00 PM. We will celebrate the last seven statements of Jesus Christ on the cross.
The Resurrection Sunday will be held on the regular Sunday time at 10:00 AM.
Share your “Resurrection” Stories
“‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again;
he was lost and is found.’” (Luke 15-31-32)
On 20 April, Resurrection Sunday, I invite you to share your “resurrection” story. As many of you might remember from previous celebrations, we share stories about how God has revived, revitalised, or renewed our lives. Please share in three to five minutes. Thank you!

An evening of music and testimony with Jules Riding
On 7th May, at 7:00 PM, Jules Riding, an NZ Christian singer doing a South Island tour, will share his music and testimony at the OBC auditorium.
He titles this event “Finding God in the Wilderness, ” a mix of songs and the Word. Your koha or donations are appreciated.
The wheelchairs have arrived
As announced last Sunday, two new wheelchairs have been purchased, and they arrived this week for use this Sunday.
The arrival of these wheelchairs means that one or two more from Sandringham House could attend our worship service. 🙂
