There is a couple that come to the Wednesday night dinners at Strathmore Community Centre that have asked if we have anyone that may be able to help them. The husband has a brain injury and the wife is his full-time carer. She asked us if there is anyone from our church who would be willing to go and spend time with the husband to give her a break maybe one morning a week. Any amount of time you could give would be a help for them, even if it was just a one-off. If this is something you think you could help with, or you'd just like to know more, please email east@thestreet.org.nz

Miramar Central School is fundraising to help send their Year 5 & 6 students to camp at the end of the year. They are selling frozen donuts for $24 per dozen. If you would like to order some, please complete the order form before 29th August and email to office@miramarcentral.school.nz 

Instead of the student name and class just write "The Street Church". You can either pay by cash or eftpos in the school office or you can pay via bank transfer using the following information:

Miramar Central School
12-3481-0042642-00
Reference - Purchasers Name
Particulars - Donuts

The school will inform you of the date you will need to pick up the donuts once they have placed the final order. You will need to pick the donuts up on that date as they are frozen.

What a great way for us to show our love and appreciation to this school!

Just a quick reminder to fill in the annual Spiritual Health Survey.
As a church seeking to help one another become total followers of Jesus Christ, this survey helps us check in on how we’re going. 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. Click here. Please fill in the form before August 26th.

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.
Click here to read about the SUNZ cap (for kids in school years 6-8)
Click here to read about El Rancho (for kids aged 8-12, and leadership opportunities for 14+)
If you would like to receive up-coming registration dates and information for future camps, please contact these organisations so you don't miss out. Often camp registrations fill up quickly!

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!
