New Home Group requires a leader: Do you have the leadership and experience to run a homegroup? We have a home venue in Panmure and a few people wishing to attend. Please see Colin Thomsen or Cherry Robertson.

Men’s Group: If you are interested in joining a morning men’s group to be held at Hillside, possibly Wednesday or Thursday mornings from 10.30am till noon contact Colin Farr.

Jean Hawken: Jean was involved in a car accident a week or so ago and is still in the Awatea Ward(14a) at Auckland hospital. Please feel free to call on her if you know her and are able to do so. Wendy Kuperus’s Mum is a bit better but not out of the woods yet. Please remember her and others like Ngaire McCracken who are not well and needing our various supports, and thanks go to you if you have or will make the effort to pray or call.

Colin away: Colin and Anna Thomsen will be away for 6 Sundays on annual leave from February 5th. (We are attending our daughters wedding in Wellington and then after 10 days back in Auckland going to the US for three weeks). This will affect the delivery of some information and communication and possibly practical things over those weeks as well. Phones and email messages will be cleared but there may be a few gaps here and there at Hillside. Gareth Wood starts on March 1st who will monitor some things and there will be others around, but this is to let you know that we are gone for a bit but coming back soon. Linda Grace will send out an email on Fridays with notices rather than them being uploaded to the web site.   Thanks. CT

Tracey Dobbs: A Cap client is looking for 2-3 hours of house cleaning or gardening a week to help with her budget. Enquiries to 5706163 or 021 02995753. References available from Cherry Roberson.

Tent needed: Hi all, I (Jo wells) am going on school camp and am in need of a small tent that just pops open and wa la! (I could use a good old one that doesn’t open all by itself but I thought I’d check if anyone has a cool tent). Please phone me or text me on 021 029 70401 thanks!

Camp: Hillside has an option and paid a deposit for a camp at Campbell Park Christian Camp at Mangawhai Heads from May 4th to 6th. This was originally booked for the youth about a year ago but as this time is two weeks after Easter camp most don’t want another camp so soon after. All this to say if there is a Church group that would like to utilise the booking please contact Colin Thomsen and we will confirm the booking.

Books: Do you have a library book from Hillside? You do? And you have finished reading it? Yes….OK then well its time to bring it back. Don’t forget. Put it in your bag or car now for this Sunday.

Gareth and Cara Wood: Our last year Carey student starts March 1st here at Hillside for three days a week. Don’t be alarmed at not seeing them in the meantime as they are completing a summer placement in another Auckland Church until then. They are very excited to know they are coming to Hillside.

Auditorium Changes: These are not lost to us. The professional designers we have retained to process the first stages of  looking at the best way to enhance the auditorium and building look and feel measured up the building this week.

Cap room closed: As Hillside process’s Cherry’s transition to her next chapter and we advertise for a new CAP manager for Hillside we are closing the room where given products are dispensed to CAP clients. So at this point we are no longer  wanting to receiving furniture , clothing or bric a brac. Thanks to all who have contributed stuff over the last few years.

Beach Mission: Beach Mission was held in Whangamata from December 28th to January 2nd. About 43 people were there and though less formal activities took place this year the team had a very positive impact on the community. There was a real openness among many of the crowd and many people were prayed for and a good number accepted Jesus as saviour.  I hope we will get some testimonial updates in the weeks to come.

Christmas Decorations: These are now down and if you loaned some of yours for  Hillside to use thanks and they are available for collection at the back of the auditorium.
