CHRISTCHURCH: Open Meeting Panel Discussion on the Christian attitude toward Israel and Gaza @ Hornby Presbyterian Church
Apr 21 @ 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM

Hi Folks

Are you shocked by the killing of innocent civilians?  Are you feeling conflicted as to who is “in the right” in the Israeli-Gaza conflict?  Why as a Christian should you care about a dispute on the other side of the world?  Are you puzzling over what a Christian response should be?  If any of these questions resonate with you, then this event is for you.

Hope Presbyterian in Amyes Rd Hornby, has invited us to join a discussion panel at their evening service, this Sunday at 7pm.

The topic is:  What should be the Christian attitude toward Israel and Gaza?

They have already had two sermons over the last two weeks on the history of Israel for background, and the sermons can be found here (click the image):

You’re invited to take part in this fascinating discussion.  The Q&A session is going to be informative and rewarding.  Even more so, if you have thought about it already so bring some questions with you.

See you there!

PALMERSTON NORTH: Praying for Israel meeting @ Church on Vogel
May 1 @ 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

WELLINGTON: Limmud NZ: June 15-16 @ TBC
Jun 15 – Jun 16 all-day

Limmud

Limmud is a cross-communal ‘festival of learning’ which last year attracted over 25000 participants to its events, held across five continents, in almost forty countries. It started in the UK 30 years ago where the annual five-day event now attracts 2,500 people from across the religious spectrum and boasts 350 presenters offering some 900 sessions.

Limmud aims to enable each participant to go one step further on their own Jewish journey.   One of the key principles behind what has now become an international cross-communal movement is that we all have something to contribute and can learn from each other.  Presenters are treated as part of the community, they are volunteers like those who organise the events and all are rewarded by the opportunity to learn from each other.  Becoming Limmud NZ makes us part of an exciting worldwide movement.

Limmud has core principles that we feel reflect our community. The catchphrase behind Limmud is “Every Jew should be a student and everyone can be a teacher”. This seems very much to capture what our organizing committee believes, and we are eager for more local presenters to put themselves forward and to encourage people to volunteer. Even an hour will make a huge difference to the success of the first Limmud conference on 18/19 August.  Expanding Jewish horizons, empowering individuals to contribute to their community and enabling connections to be made between individuals and across communities are the values behind Limmud International and behind Limmud NZ. We also love the emphasis on ensuring all participants feel equally respected and comfortable at Limmud, no matter which shul they go to, or don’t go to.  All Limmud events will be strictly kosher to enable participants to eat and enjoy together.

Limmud, of course, means learning and it is about learning but not in a formalized way. The great thing about the format is it is “pick and mix”. Each session runs for an hour, and there are five different streams to choose from.You just pick what you want to go to – discussion of an ethical dilemma with local and international experts, an intimate text study, a film discussion, or sessions relating to parenting issues. If you need a break for a session, grab a coffee and schmooze. The only thing we can’t do for you is arrange for you to be at two sessions at once – although some sessions are repeated.

Keep these dates free, more information to come.
