Together we celebrate the Risen Christ

you have delivered us

a new beginning and an empty tomb
grant us strength and humility
to enter into life

Good Friday Shadow Service
The only light in the Church is candlelight, all the covers are black and the appointed Shadows are presenting their personal reflections. This service is unique with the congregation representatives sharing: Betrayal, Inner Agony, Loneliness, Accusation, Desertion, Mockery and Death
Lord Jesus Christ
as we kneel at the foot of your cross
help us to see and know your love for us
so that we may place at your feet
all that we have and are.

Kawe mate for the Late Mihirangi Hiku (Aunty Hine)
“A Faithful Servant”
We thank God for Aunty Hine and her ministry amongst our communities in Sydney and NSW. We gathered with our community to thank Aunty Hine’s whanau for bringing her kawe mate back to Te Wairua Tapu. Speakers shared stories, we sang songs and celebrated her life.
Season of Lent
Our Whare Karakia has been transformed by our ladies for Lent. The flower arrangements are replaced with simple branches and our colour is violet. This year TWT Wahine have a Lenten Calendar with time for Prayer, Fasting and Giving as we all travel our lenten journey to Easter.

Sydney Waitangi Day Festival 2018
Tena koutou katoa, the Church of Te Wairua Tapu fellowship joined with many other NZ citizens yesterday at the Sydney Waitangi Festival.
In excess of 6000 people attend the festival which has been held for more than 10 years and seems to get bigger every year. However, thank goodness the weather was not as intensely hot as it has been in previous years, which resulted in a great day of food, culture and entertainment.
Thanks you to the fellowship that helped at the Gates.
Thank you to Waitangi Day Festival organisers for an absolutely beautiful day.
God Bless and see you again in 2019.
