Hamilton Central
Our young people had a great time at E Camp and Easter Camp, and returned full of the blessings enjoyed. Our Women4Life conference, Wonderful World, saw 60 women on an imaginative adventure to visit every continent. The study was based around the woman who was healed after touching the hem of Jesus’ garment. The men’s ministry has started a Valiant Man course, and recently hosted a Promise Keepers event featuring Ian Foster and Andrew Stroud. Our morning service on May 1 was blessed by a lively choir drawn from the refugee Congolese community in Hamilton. Sadly, we report the death of Elaine Frauenstein, who managed the church’s sheltered housing units.
