“THIS IS OUR PLACE”

“SURVIVOR: Almost as famous as Cape Reinga itself is the ancient pohutukawa, that clings to the rock face, but reportedly never flowers.”

KAITAIA CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

“It’s not Sunday without it,” it says at the bottom of the ad in one of our local papers I am looking at right now. And “It’s not Sunday without it,”really gets my attention.

It’s  an advertisement for a newspaper, the SUNDAY STAR TIMES. At the top of the ad I read “Subscribe now” and underneath you find the website and the phone number.

The ad says that it is not Sunday without the SUNDAY STAR TIMES.

But I say that it’s not Sunday for me without going to church.

Dive into History

DIVE INTO CHURCH HISTORY.

I followed that suggestion today. We have “Miller’s Church History” in our small library, “From the First to the Twentieth Century.” The book has almost 1,100 pages.

I read there about the SALVATION ARMY on page 1056.

KAITAIA: Salvation Army

And I can only say that it was inspiring and a blessing to do so. I must do some more diving into Church History. I like it.
