LEADER Lee-Ann Carelse DESCRIPTION

Join us for a special pamper afternoon as we bless solo mums, teen mums and a grandmother caring for her moko. Help create a relaxing and encouraging afternoon where these incredible women can feel valued, cared for and celebrated. It’s a simple way to show practical love and remind them that their community is behind them.

Selwyn

LEADER Laura Edwards DESCRIPTION

Bake goods on Saturday and drop them in the foyer at the Arise Care table on Sunday 20th September! We are partnering with Bellyful Selwyn to get these in their care packs that go into homes with young children and those facing hard times and lacking support. Baking must be able to be frozen.

Christchurch

LEADER Sienna Wall DESCRIPTION

We will be gathering to write handwritten notes that include prayers, scripture and blessing that will be added into Arise Care packages sent to the organisations we partner with. This will add a personal touch to the packages we send out while connecting them back to the heart of the organisation, to be the hands and feet of Jesus and spread his love. All the resources to do this will be provided.
