Was a serving day with Soul Survivor where a group of young people gathered for worship and teaching and then went out into our communities to serve others. It was an amazing day where young people gave up their Saturdays to aid in silver polishing and gardening for Parishioners of Knox and Saint John’s in the City, to bake for the Billy Graham Boxing Academy and also a group visited Te Omanga Hospice to clean their outdoor furniture.
The young people that came were challenged with what they do with their spare time and encouraged that there are always others that need our help, how the God teaches us that this is his will, to know and love our neighbours and through serving we can practically help so many. It is not something common in the generations of today and why it is such an important aspect of life to teach.
Thanks to all of those who came and participated from All Saints Hataitai, Knox, Saint John’s in the City, Porirua PIC, and Wadestown parishes. Let's do another day soon! If your keen get in touch with us!

Why not try "Life: The Missing Dimension in Discipleship..."
How can I live the Christian Life? The answer is simple yet profound. "You can't. Only God can live it through you." If that answer strikes a chord within you, or at very least arouses curiosity then you must read Life: the Missing Dimension in Discipleship, a new book by YouthTRAIN Director Murray Brown. In it he contrasts two approaches to the Christian life - living it according to the (tree of) the knowledge of good and evil and (the tree of) Life.
Even though we say that "Christianity is a relationship not a religion", we so often lapse back into presenting it as a religion of rules to follow rather than Life to be lived. Our discipleship, particularly in the West, seems to so easily become one of filling people with as much knowledge of good and evil and possible rather than introducing them to the concepts of "Life" and teaching them to grow a relationship with this Author of Life, who comes to live within them at the new birth.
Life: the Missing Dimension in Discipleship is an excellent resource for your congregation and for your young people. Check out their website http://www.youthtrain.com/life/
