You may have noticed that our bible readings have recently being read in different languages. Recently we have heard the word of God being read in Chinese, English, Japanese and today in Tagalog (From India) .We are an international church, our unity is not found in our common tongue, but in our common love for Jesus.
Sunday school starts again on the 1st Feb With three classes: Pre-School (under 5yr olds) Primary 1 (5-8 yr olds) Primary 2 (9-11 yr olds)
There is something special when we give room for people of other cultures to speak praises to God in their mother language, in a small way it is a reflection of what Heaven will look like. In the book of Revelation it tells us that together people of very tribe and language and nation will praise Christ. So today let’s together praise God, that he has come for all nations, even Kiwis!
