What a weekend, first the Watoto Choir rocked the house on Friday night then Meadows Church celebrated our TENTH birthday at the Realm Drive site!! We had EVERYTHING!!! Lionel Ritchie (aka Ps. Ian Dennis), a bouncy castle, dancers, a free sausage sizzle and lollie scramble. It was a beautiful day, and we sentimentally let go of balloons, as was done at the opening of the Realm Drive Site... and what a great 10 years it has been-so many changes & developments. Praise the Lord, and here's to another 10 years of Impacting our world for Christ!!! 

WOW!!!! The Watoto Choir were AMAZING, what a night and what a privilege. The Auditorium was totally packed out -so much so, that the doors had to be shut and people weren't able to get in!! The African choir, all orphans touched so many hearts, yet showed through their performance and stories just how much joy (and ENERGY!!!!) they had because of their faith, hope and trust in Jesus!

On the 12th Sept, the Otaki Meadows held their first Mens Breakfast with 32 men in attendance!!! The breakfast was held at the Pukekaraka Marae in Otaki and proved to be a great success with all involved. The ladies of the house cooked an exceptional breakfast which was followed up by a great time of sharing and testimony by Robin Doyle. The church look forward to their next event and opportunity to share the message!!! 

 

Food for the stomach and food for the spirit - 60 guys gathered at Southwards on Saturday 6^th Sept to listen to Rob Harley speak. After enjoying a big cooked breakfast the guys were entertained and challenged on "The Power of Words" by Rob.
