The importance of building and strengthening relationships within the church family is one of the many objectives the 2010 leadership team recognised and gave attention to.
Given the fact that 90% of the members are students who need to find their own food on the sabbath and the challenge of taking everyone to the few working members homes, it was agreed that after the morning services on the Saturday morning, the students a served a cup of soup and rolls. This has been a successful strategy to get students from across the cultural groups to get to know each other better, make new friends and of course to expand their circle of friends and network across the Pacific.
Another strategy was to organise a church camp where the students could leave aside their assignments and come together to share in spiritual and social activities at a church campsite on the coast. The theme of this camp is: ReFRESH It is planned to run from Friday 7th to Sunday 9th May. This week-end is also a Mother's Day week-end and many of our students would be thinking of their Mums. The programme would include an activity to get them to remember their mums and to action their feelings for them.
