Hi Folks

There is no monthly meeting in Christchurch.  NZFOI is in recess over July.  Back in August.

Until then, shalom.

Many Christians are surprised to find out that Jesus was a Jew, speaking to Jews, in their cultural context.  Ha Yesod is a course that respectfully explores the Jewish foundation of Christianity. Comprehensive workbooks, lesson guides, and additional supplementary materials make this program one of the most well-rounded and comprehensive courses in this area of biblical studies.

This bible study is starting on Monday 15 July 2013.  Venue to be announced.  There are only a few spaces left, so email  contact@nzfoi.org or call (021) 0224 2515 if you would like to enrol.

There is a cost of $20 for each workbook.

Hi Folks

Passover begins on the evening of March 26 and ends April 2.

We have received one or two requests from families seeking to share a Passover meal with another family.  If you are interested then please send us an expression of interest by return email and we will endeavour to match you up with someone near you who has also expressed a similar interest.  Once matched its over to you to discuss logistics.

Kind regards
