Sunday 30th November - Justice & Grace

It's the end of November and before we know it we will have christmas carols coming at us from every direction.

This Sunday we have a guest preacher - Captain Rebecca Gane - our Divisional Youth Secretary (she oversights the youth work that takes place through the middle chunk of New Zealand).

She will be speaking about Justice & Grace.

Also on Sunday @ 6:30pm we are heading to the Salvation Army in London street for the official farewell of Majors Raewyn & Lindsay Chisholm, Captain Rebecca Gane and....

Its also the divisional farewell for accepted candidates (people who are heading to our training college to become officers) - We have the McEwen family to farewell (see photo in previous post below) so its going to be a great occasion.

Sun 16th Nov - what's on the menu

This sunday David McEwen is going to be speaking - it will be great I am sure. David & Tina along with their 4 kids and various animals are heading to Booth College of Mission (Upper Hutt) next year to begin their training to become Officers (ministers/pastors) with The Salvation Army. As sad as it will be for us to lose them from our city they will always remain a part of the grandview corps family.

David is speaking on "what would Jesus do?" - a question that is well worth asking - especially if you are wanting to 'imitate Christ' and be a dynamic disciple.

so 10:30am this Sunday - 180 Grandview Road

and our children's programme "recruits" is also on

Grace & peace

We have a special guest Captain Bronwyn Malcolm .

there will be a BBQ lunch and everyone is welcome.

Check back next week for pics of the day.

Welcome to Grandview Corps

It is with great pleasure that we launch the official blog for Grandview Corps. A friend of mine suggested that instead of wasting time and money with a website, why not try a blog first. So that conversation has led to the creation of this blog.

Why a blog? Our world is constantly changing and the way people communicate, connect with the wider world around them, and even look for a church is changing too. We want to be accessible to as many people as possible, and this blog is one of those ways.

The intention would be that each week a podcast of the sunday message will be available here on the blog (just as soon as Shar figures out how to do that!) We will also have upcoming events, testimonies of what God is doing, we'll introduce some people and let them tell their stories and keep the world & Grandview corps connected to each other.

We'd love your feedback and hope that you know that God absolutely LOVES you.

Grace & Peace
