Janine Rankin, “Palmerston North heritage church looks for civic help,” Stuff, 13 Feb 2017

Palmerston North ratepayers might be asked to help the owners of heritage buildings pay part of the costs of earthquake strengthening.

The possibility was raised when a deputation from All Saints Church updated the city council’s arts, culture and heritage committee on its $5 million strengthening and enhancement project on Monday.

Parish Prayer Rhythms start Tuesday, 07 February

As we, All Saints Parish, venture into 2017, we are creating some new communal rhythms of prayer and hospitality.

Additionally each work day we will offer a time to pray together.

Our desire is that these rhythms will become habits which will impact our lifestyles changing us into a more prayerful and hospitable church community.

The dates for the Parish Prayer Rhythms are as follows (details of area meals are still to be finalised):

 
All Saints’ on The Square
338 Church Street (down the drive), Palmerston North
  • Monday 8:30am
