L’ANSON RESERVE – WEEDING BEE – 20 JUNE
L’Anson Bush Reserve is situated near Te Puna between SH2, Loop Road and Armstrong Road. It was planted in 1987 by Tauranga Forest & Bird, and is managed by WBOP District Council. This lovely bush reserve has a 2 km walking track around a small lake.
In recent years many invasive weeds have taken hold and are spoiling the beauty. Many weeds require manual eradicating. To get on top of this problem, monthly working bees are now being held at I’Anson Reserve on every third Thursday of the month. We invite people to come and help us on Thursday 20th June, from 10 am – 12.30 pm. (Note that future weeding bees will start at 9 am). Please gather at the car park off Loop Road, off SH2. Bring suitable clothing and foot wear, gloves and your own hand tools if you wish.
If you have any creative ideas on how to attract corporates or groups to come along for work days at the reserve to help achieve our weed free goal, please get in touch. Please share this invite with anyone you know who may be interested.
This project is a partnership between Forest and Bird and the QEII trust and the community.

The Gospel in the Feasts
The Gospel in the Feasts
Did you know God created holidays? He created special celebrations that were object lessons, reminders, and PROPHECIES about the future.
The seven annual feasts of the Lord (Leviticus 23) provide a prophetic panorama of God’s wonderful plan of redemption, beginning with the sacrifice of the Lamb (Passover) and resolving with the final ingathering at the end of the age (Feast of Tabernacles).
Join Nigel Christensen and discover how these ancient holidays are GOOD NEWS for all followers of Jesus, whether Jew or Gentile.

Passover Meal Demonstration
Discover the Roots of the Lord’s Last Supper
Have you ever wondered why Jesus used bread and wine to talk about his sacrifice for us? Explore Jesus’ last Passover meal for yourself and find out!
This sermonic demonstration of the ancient Passover Seder meal powerfully reveals the sacrificial ministry of Jesus as the Lamb of God, and uncovers the roots of the Christian communion, using the very elements God prescribed for the Seder itself. The 1-hour demonstration is an unforgettable journey through the “Last Supper,” which was, in fact, the Messiah’s last Passover Seder…until He returns!
Discover how this ancient holiday is GOOD NEWS for us today.
