CHRISTCHURCH: Israel Weekly Solidarity March @ Bridge of Remembrance
May 5 @ 1:30 PM

After the October 7 massacres, over a hundred hostages still remain in captivity.

Hamas agreed to a hostage release of all women and children.  They reneged.

Since then they have refused all offers for a ceasefire.

Join us every Sunday at 2pm, at the Bridge of Remembrance, rain or shine to show our solidarity with the Hostages and Israel.

Don’t let the anti-Israel forces create an Orwellian world where

  • torture and rape are legitimate resistance,
  • civilians are human shields,
  • the UN and its facilities are extensions of Hamas,
  • legitimate warfare is a “war against children”

See you there!

Yom Hazikaron: Memorial Day for Fallen Soldiers & Victims of Terrorism
May 12 – May 13 all-day

Yom HaZikaron commemorates those who lost their lives in the struggle that led to the establishment of the State of Israel and all military personnel who were killed while in active duty in Israel’s forces.

Yom Hazikaron, Israel’s Memorial Day, holds deep significance for Israelis. It is observed on the fourth of Iyar, the day preceding Israel’s Independence Day. This day commemorates those who lost their lives in the struggle that led to the establishment of the State of Israel and all military personnel who were killed while in active duty in Israel’s armed forces. Unlike the American Memorial Day, Yom Hazikaron has a distinct character and mood. For 24 hours, from sunset to sunset, all places of public entertainment are closed, including theaters, cinemas, nightclubs, and pubs. The most poignant feature of the day is the sound of a siren heard throughout the country twice: once at 8 p.m. to mark the beginning of Memorial Day, and again at 11 a.m. before the public recitation of prayers in the military cemeteries. During these moments, the entire nation observes a two-minute “standstill” of all traffic and daily activities. Radio and television stations broadcast programs that honor fallen soldiers, often featuring Israeli songs that convey the somber mood of the day. Yom Hazikaron serves as a powerful reminder of the price of Israel’s independence and the ongoing challenges it faces. It fosters a sense of unity and collective responsibility as Israelis come together to honor the memory of those who gave their lives in service to their country. By the time of Yom Hazikaron in 2023, the commemoration honored 24,213 fallen individuals.

PALMERSTON NORTH: Praying for Israel meeting @ Church on Vogel
May 15 @ 7:00 PM

The events of October 7 and the subsequent war is distressing for all.

Yet the future of Christians and Jews is tied cosmically together.  At the same time, God loves all of humankind, so much so that He sent His Son to die for us all.

Now the conflict seems to be spreading with Iran’s attack on Israel.

The need for fervent prayer is high.

Please join us in prayer each Wednesday 7 pm, at

Church on Vogel
127 Vogel St
Palmerston North
