CONGRATULATIONS MR. AND MRS. DAWSON
Friday 19th March 2010
Last Friday 12th March, Dibs Dawson and Toni Holgate celebrated as they took their vows and got married. Toni looked absolutely stunning and Dibs was very smart in his suit with stonewash-look shoes.
These two have served so faithful at City Impact Church Balclutha, and to see them on this very special day was an absolute blessing. Ps Beven Taylor, the pastor of City impact Church Balclutha, took the ceremony and did an awesome job.
Dibs and Toni took the opportunity to have their first communion together as a married couple, to honour and glorify God. Dibs surprised Toni later on, serenading her in front of family and friends.
This day was definitely one to remember
Congratulations Dibs and Toni – we wish you two all the best!
YOUTH CAMP 2010
Monday 15th March 2010
Last weekend, March 12-14, City Impact Youth Auckland went on a youth camp.
With over 400 registrations, the weekend was bound to be filled with some great activities and, most of all, amazing God times.
The youth were split up, with the boys heading to Mangawhai Heads and the girls to Ruakaka.
Each group had to hike a few kilometres to their camp sites carrying all their gear, but it all seemed just a few meters with nothing but open skies and acoustic guitars leading them into an unforgettable weekend.
The weekend consisted of a number of team activities, where they all competed against each other to become the team on top.
The youth also had the opportunity to hear the amazing testimonies of some of their leaders, of how they overcame obstacles and fear in their own lives.
This weekend definitely impacted the lives of those who went along.
A special thank you to those who worked behind the scenes - your hard work did not go unnoticed.
QUEENSTOWN WORKING BEE
Friday 12th March 2010
Last Saturday 6th March, City Impact Church Queenstown held a working bee at the church.
With the usual beautiful sunshine down south, the working bee started off with a bang at 9am with enthusiastic volunteers waiting at the door to start!
The vast array of jobs varied from the pond being cleaned and debugged, to amazing ply creations being made, toys being repaired, painting, landscaping, building work and spring cleaning being done everywhere.
The church as well as the childcare centre was soon glistening in the sun! The highlight of the day of course was the scrummy barbeque that was put on for the volunteers that came out to help.
Well done and thank you for giving up your Saturday to come and clean the house of God.
INVERCARGILL'S COMMUNITY DAY
Wednesday 10th March 2010
Last Saturday a team of 25 volunteers from City Impact Church Invercargill headed down to a local kindergarten to assist in sprucing up their outside playgrounds.
The team helped to achieve so much, shifting truck loads of sand into sandpits, assisting in creating a garden as well as weeding another, and many other jobs.
The team then supplied morning tea for the volunteers and parents from the kindergarten. It was a great opportunity to work alongside these parents in the Invercargill community, sowing seeds into their lives.
Thanks to everyone in the church who came out for the day.

KID'S CHURCH SLEEP OVER
Monday 1st March 2010
Last Friday 27th February, our very own Kids Church here in Auckland put together a night filled with fun and laughter for all our children at a big sleep over.
With over one hundred kids over for the night, they kicked it off with yummy pizza for dinner. Next was a talent quest with some of the children showing there prowess in dance, drama, gymnastics and singing. To top the night off there was a massive pillow fight before lights out.
For breakfast the next day, they served up some pancakes alongside the best cereals you could offer.
The kids, as well as their awesome leaders, had an amazing time. Thanks to all those who helped out.
NORTH HARBOUR HOCKEY PLAYERS COME TO SCHOOL
Thursday 25th February 2010
On Tuesday morning, City Impact School had representatives from North Harbour Hockey come to promote the game to the students in both Teacher Bev & Teacher Taryn’s classes.
The children had an awesome time watching the skills of the players and also had an opportunity to participate in learning some new skills.
Even the teachers were put to the challenge, which the children thoroughly enjoyed watching!
We just want to give a big thank you to Rachel Ironside for organising this event, and also to North Harbour Hockey. The kids were blessed!

Introducing Mr and Mrs Jozac and Melissa Hillary!
The sun shone and the people celebrated in Queenstown last Saturday 20th February, as Pastors Daryl and Roberta Watson gave their eldest daughter Melissa to be married to Jozac, the eldest son of Mark and Julie Hillary.
Melissa looked beautiful (Jozac didn’t look too shabby either) as love was declared and vows made before God, their family and friends in a stunning private garden with the mountains and Lake Hayes in view.
Congratulations Jozac and Mel, we pray God’s blessing and prosperity upon you as you embark on your lives together.
RED RAIN
Monday 22nd February 2010
On Sunday 21st February City Impact Church Auckland had an amazing band, Red Rain take the worship for their Sunday evening service.
Red Rain is from our very own Tauranga here in New Zealand, lead by front-man Michael Turner. They travel for eight months of the year all over the word, their time with us being on the end of a tour throughout Asia, Europe and the United States.
It was such a huge privilege having them here, not only for our Sunday night service, but also with our Youth on Friday night, who were touched and inspired by their ministry.
What an awesome weekend!
