Presbyterian Women Aotearoa New Zealand (PWANZ) has launched their International Women’s Day Special Collection, 11 March 2018.
At General Assembly 2016, the Assembly decided that a PWANZ Special Collection be taken on the Sunday nearest to International Women’s Day each March to support the ongoing advocacy role of Presbyterian Women Aotearoa New Zealand locally, regionally, internationally, as well as at the United Nations.
During Lent 2018, KCML is offering (free) webinars. Weekly, two of the contributors to Snapshots in Mission will be interviewed via online video conferencing. What sparked their writing? What piece of music speaks to their article? What are the implications, for church, ministry and mission? There will be time for Q and A, using video conferencing technology. The webinars happen weekly 4:30-5:15 pm on Thursdays starting 22 February, with the last one is on 15 March (topics and speakers for each date are below). Attend one. Or attend them all.

Christmas is a struggle for the lonely. Nothing compounds feelings of loneliness quite like seeing others celebrate a festival for families, and being asked common pleasantries such as if family are coming to visit. It’s not the fault of Christmas but it’s what happens. Christmas is hard on the lost. Who can begin to be found when everyone’s so busy with each other that no one’s even looking for the lost?
