Hamilton West Planning Meeting

Dear everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying your Easter Break!

We serve a RISEN SAVIOUR - HALLELUJAH!!!!!

You are ALL invited to our Planning Meeting this Wednesday at 2pm at Mary Shepherd’s place, 89 Poaka Ave, Hamilton, ph 07 846 7907.

Please come with your ideas, inspiration and willingness to help in whatever way you can for this terms classes.

If you have a skill, talent, interest, gift or knowledge of any particular thing or subject or area that you could pass on to a small group of children, then please consider taking a class. We need you! Husbands are welcome too!

If you are new to this, it is really quite relaxed and simple. You can have a ‘helper’ or be a helper, to someone else.

We use the camp's facilities and rooms and the subject range is limited only by our imaginations!

You may come with your children on Wednesday or not as it suits you. Please also bring a small plate for afternoon tea.

We look forward to seeing as many of you as can come, for a great brain storming session together, so we can have another industrious, creative, and fun term together!

God bless,

See you Wednesday,

Jackie, Leatitia and Mary

Info for Wednesday, April 13th.

Hi all,

Just a reminder about this week's Home School Group...

Where: We are initially meeting at Trinity Reformed Baptist Church, Matai Street, Hamilton
then singing at 2 rest homes after this, at 1pm and then 1:30pm.

When: Meet at 10 sharp.

What: We will  practise the songs as a group, make a craft to take as a gift when we sing to the old folks, enjoy a shared lunch together, then go out to 2 rest homes to visit and sing. (Trevellyn and Saint Joans)

Please bring: Something to SHARE for lunch

Extra pair of scissors, laminator or glue guns if you have them.

Is there anyone who would be happy to write out the words of the songs on large sheets of paper for the children to read as they sing? (It would help to have this done before hand - just saves time).

REMEMBER!!! Your children DON"T have to be wonderful singers - just willing to come and be a blessing to these old people. Especially our teens!!!

It's good to have an opportunity to GIVE out to those who are lonely and old and whose bodies are frail after all the years they have spent giving in their lifetime. (James 1v27 is an encouragement on this - Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world.)

An RSVP would be helpful please so we have some idea of numbers for the craft supplies we need.

Please RSVP to Charleen  at  <mailto:seiulifamily@xtra.co.nz>
seiulifamily@xtra.co.nz  to help us plan our numbers, Thanks,

See you all on Wednesday for another really special day!
