What’s up!
We have a couple of specific short-term opportunities for serving overseas in two of the tranzsend fields. If you are interested or know of someone that these could fit, please contact Neil or Rachel on 09 5268444
a) Assistance for a school in Bangladesh: September-December 2013 to help cover for long termers on home assignment. English Medium school, formal teaching qualifications not necessary.
b) Customer Care/Liaison in South Asia: for a business producing stationery and bags. July –December 2013. Indian experience preferred.
FYI!
Queen’s Birthday holiday in New Zealand is a chance for weary workers to load the station wagon, pack up the family and take a long weekend away from home. It’s a welcome public holiday in the middle of the year and we have the British monarchy to thank for it.
Heads up!
We’re planning on decorating!
We want to “warm up” our worship space! How you may ask?
* Upgrade our sound system – move sound desk to the rear.
* Buy screens to divide seating from entry
* Buy bushy plants for the front
* Provide a welcome table
* Serve coffee into the hall so kids can have dedicated space also
* Get a big sign for the street
Doug is getting a price list together for this to present to the church for approval
On the lighter side:
A couple's lawn mower was broken, and the wife kept hinting to her husband that he should get it repaired. But the message never sunk in. She finally thought of a way to make her point.
One day the husband arrived home to find her seated in the grass busily snipping away with a pair of scissors. He watched silently for a short time, and then went into the house.
He returned a few moments later, handed her a toothbrush and said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the sidewalk."
The doctors say he should be able to walk again, but always have the limp.
Mmmmmmmm……..
