More Ideas? You are very welcome to contribute your passion (e.g. music, flowers, art, writing) to our worship. And there are plenty of opportunities for other community event ideas to be made real at Kauri as well. Just phone our minister Martin for a chat: 09 4591967

Our sunday worship follows a traditional format, with both traditional and new hymns and prayers. Children are welcome to participate in their own way or do activities at the back of the church. The sermon is a reflection on how the Christian traditions might be applied in our lives as we find ourselves here and now. We won't tell you what to think or believe, and respect you enough to suggest new ways of looking at things.

Oh - and we hang about for a cup of tea or coffee afterwards - juice available for those who prefer. Yes, we do need offerings to keep our church going, so please think about what you might spend if you go to a café for an hour, but don't let being short of cash stop you joining us.

Our spirituality is important to us, though we're not too formal, liking to share a bit of what's going on in our lives during the service. We are a welcoming church, where the presence or participation of anyone is welcome.
