Signs of a good summer holiday:
Backyard cricket - Dads & kids, playing until 1020 pm when game called off due to slack of light.
Backyard volleyball - dads with daughters
Swimming
BBQ's
Camping gear gathered and plans in place to visit Omarama where the salmon are running and 7 1/2 lb fish are there for the taking! Then it's on to Manapouri with friends for kayaking, boating, water skiing, knee boarding (I'll try not to drown this time!), reading, talking, walking, eating and watching kids do the dishes :-)!
After this it's on to Hawea for more of the same but on our own and with some biking thrown in for good measure.
Can't wait!!

South Hub - swimming at Fairfield school & BBQ
Ann and kids had a great day at Fairfield School with a BBQ and swim day. Started at 11 and they only just got home after 4! Apparently the facilities are excellent and very sheltered. Good turn out too, around 25 or so.
We've been involved in South Hub for the last three years. "An open gathering of people who follow Jesus. As his disciples we seek to model our lives on His life; to support each other as we discover all that the journey of discipleship and discovery of biblical community means for us and what it requires of us."
Over the last three years we've made real progress in this direction as a Church facing group,whose aim is to serve the Church's mission, to make the big Church smaller and yet make small group ministry bigger, more effective, fruitful and to be a place in which people can meet Christ, come into the church and be disciples. A group that brings people into the kingdom, builds them up, provides an opportunity for training ( growing in ministry / leadership) and as a result can be sent out for further ministry.
This year sees a big change in all of this as the Hub groups are re organised in the desire to see all Hubs sustainable groups growing in ministry.
