Parents - are you looking for things to do in the school holidays? Christian kids camps are a fabulous option! Kids build incredible friendships, enjoy loads of fun and have the opportunity to grow closer to Jesus through teaching and times of worship and prayer. Two of the camps we are familiar with are El Rancho in Waikanae and SUNZ (Scripture Union New Zealand)
Sometimes, cost can be a barrier to attending camps. Both these organisations have support for this if needed.

Kids Zone Continues exploring the Lord’s prayer through ‘Your Will Be Done’ and ‘Give us, Forgive us’.
The last two weeks in August they begin a new series focussed on the Parables Jesus taught through the Gospels.
Kids Zone Junior finishes the ‘God Created Me’ mini series looking at the story from 1 Samuel: A Good Heart and then runs through the ‘I Can Love Jesus’ mini series through the stories Daniel and the Lions Den, Fiery Furnace and Lovely Thoughts. The last week in August they look at The Lame Man to uncover how they can love others.
As an organisation we have access to Right Now Media, an incredible online tool with over 20,000 Bible Study videos. The studies range from specific books of the Bible through to topics such as relationships, parenting, doubt, suffering, those pitched at children and much, much more. If you have not already accessed Right Now Media, you can sign up here now. If you have forgotten this tool is available, you can dive back in at any time. You may even see some familiar faces on a couple of the video studies available. Email families@thestreet.org.nz if you spot a video The Street Church has published, and we will send you a chocolate fish!
Mind Health are offering a 50% discount for new adult clients over August. If this is the year you've thought about changing some things in your life or wondered about talking to a counsellor, this could be a helpful encouragement to take the first step. Click here for more details and to book.
As a church seeking to help one another become total followers of Jesus Christ, our annual Spiritual Health Survey helps us check in on how we’re going. Some people find this to be a helpful moment for personal reflection. As a church, it enables us to celebrate overall progress and identify areas that need investment. It can take as little as 10 minutes to complete and the more people who take part, the more useful the results, so every response matters. The link to this year’s survey will be included in the Senior Pastor Monthly Update that will land in your inbox on August 4th.
Christians Against Poverty is a not-for-profit organisation which operates entirely on donations from generous sponsors and financial supporters. To continue their incredible mahi bringing hope and an end to financial chaos across New Zealand, CAP hosts a fundraising dinner in Wellington.

If CAP is something you are interested in financially supporting and would like to find out more, you are invited to the Dinner on 26th July. RSVPs should be sent to www.capnz.org/wellington by Monday 21st July.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
The Prayer Room at 21 Hania Street is open 24/7 for you to book a one-off or regular prayer slot!
We know that prayer is THE most important thing we can be doing as a church community. Pete Grieg, the founder of 24/7 Prayer, said:
”I'm actually not into prayer. I’m into Jesus, so we talk.
I don’t believe in the power of prayer. I believe in the power of God.
So I ask for his help. A lot.”
We agree!
Meals on Wheels is a NZ wide community service providing meals to people who are unable to prepare their own meals. In Wellington it is overseen by Capital Coast Health and the meals are delivered by community volunteers. St Aidan's have been providing the volunteers for the route on the Peninsula for a number of years, but their team has recently reduced in size and they're struggling to fill all the roster slots.
The need is for two people (one to drive and one to deliver), one Wednesday a month, to pick up the meals at 11am, deliver them to the homes on the route and return the empty containers. It takes about 1 hour in total, including pick up and return. They are also looking for anyone available to fill in when volunteers are away or sick.
If this is something you are interested in, please talk to Jenny or email east@thestreet.org.nz
Prison Chaplaincy Aotearoa are looking for a full-time prison chaplain for the Rimutaka prison.
Closing date: 5pm, Friday 25 July 2025

Multiplying disciple-makers is one of our key focus areas as we seek to become a disciple-making movement transforming Wellington and the world with the good news of Jesus Christ.
Over the past six months, we have released parts 1 and 2 of Foundations - a guide to help anyone develop personal spiritual practices around reading the Bible, talking to God in prayer and helping others to discover Jesus too. Foundations is designed for small group settings of 1:1 or 1:2 people and is great for anyone who is new to faith or who has never been intentionally supported to discover who Jesus is and obey what he says.
At the end of the initial 28 weeks, we now have a conversation guide for an ongoing discipling relationship. Here you will find examples for deeper conversations around the four aspects of becoming a total follower of Jesus Christ.
If you would like to talk to someone about going through Foundations for yourself, or you would like to be trained to take others through the course, please get in touch with your Location Pastor.
As part of our In The End series through the book of Revelation - we are holding three evening meetings for anyone wanting to dive a little deeper into some of the areas that often create questions.

We are pleased to announce Georgia Eilering has been employed as our newest staff member.
Anna Watson is heading into a 12 month Maternity Leave period as she and Matt welcome their third baby boy. Georgia has been appointed to this part time position while Anna is on leave. Georgia will start on 30th June and from then be the Central contact for Life Groups and Connections.
The senior leadership are excited about this opportunity to develop Georgia and see where God would lead her.
Keep reading to find out a bit more about Georgia.
Kia ora everyone! My name is Georgia and I am SUPER excited, blessed, and grateful to get to work with you all. My hope in this role is ultimately to cultivate and nurture relationships with other people and with the Lord - my heart behind everything is God calling us to delight in Him, and so I try to keep a posture of positivity, fun, and joy in everything I do. While Anna is away, I hope to journey alongside the work she has done and add to it in a fruitful, effective way!
Little bit about me... I was born and raised in Whangarei, Northland and grew up in The Salvation Army church before moving to Wellington in 2021 for university - studying a Bachelor of Arts in Media and English. I had a friend attending The Street Night and started coming along, fell in love with the community, and never wanted to leave! For the past year and a half, I have been living and working at a Christian camp and conference center in Calabasas, California - this has become a kind-of second home for me. Working and serving in camp ministry helped me realise that God was calling me to continue down a path of servitude, and that my love for working with people in creative ways is a gift He has given me to walk out and use to build the Kingdom. I also work for Northern Easter Camp as their Comms/Creative Area Head (I call this my side hustle). I LOVE traveling, and have found my closest relationships and richest experiences come from stepping outside of my comfort zone and trusting in God's goodness. This new role for me has come at the perfect time, and I cannot wait to step back into The Street community as a more refined, on-fire-in-the-spirit version of myself.
Kids Zone takes the first couple of weeks off for the school holidays. On the 20th of July they begin a new series looking at the Lord’s Prayer. On the 20th the focus is ‘Our Father ‘and on the 27th the focus will be ‘Your Name Be Honoured’
Kids Zone Junior also takes a break starting back on the 20th looking at the stories of David and Goliath and The Brave Queen as they think about the truth that God Created Me.
Kids Zone Junior uses The Beginner’s Bible.

Our next teaching series on Revelation begins on Sunday 13 July. We have put more preparation, planning and prayer into this series than any other in our recent history. We are expectant for what God wants to teach us through this series and how he wants to equip us to face what the future holds - without fear! To get the most out of the series, we’d love everyone in the church to read the entire book of Revelation - just one chapter a day (about 5mins) - from June 22 through to July 13. This will give you a broad sweep of the book and no doubt will cause many, many questions to surface - that’s good - and will help us all be better equipped to dive into this amazing book together from Sunday 13 July onwards.
Our vision is to become a disciple-making movement transforming Wellington and the world with the good news of Jesus Christ. One way we seek to do this is through loving one another well.
As one church that meets across multiple Locations, we take time each term to celebrate stories of what God is doing and lift specific needs in prayer.
