The Classi� ed Section works like a directory. If you have a regular appearance in the Classi� ed Section, people know where to look for your services when they need them.

The Weekend Sun has a very popular Classi� ed Section that is constantly building, and becoming a vital advertising tool. Another bene� t to advertising in the Classi� eds, is that we can always � nd something that will cater to suit your advertising needs and budget.

We can also � t Classi� ed Advertisements in right up until the very last minute of going to print, which means if you have something urgent, you can usually count on the Classi� ed Section to get it into the paper.

Colour advertising is also very a� ordable in the Classi� ed Section. It costs just $25 +gst extra to add colour to your advert – a fantastic investment to increase the pro� le of your advert.

How God is like a mother too

“A community focused on Christ that is purpose-driven,

people-empowering and relevant to our time.”

Lifezone Church is starting a new chapter in their history with the fi rst service in their new facility at 7 Oak Lane, Judea. With a larger, purpose-built facility, pastor Steve Murray sees it as an exciting opportunity to serve the local community, the city and fur-ther abroad. “We can offer community groups a place to meet as well as caring for the spiritual and emotional needs of the people of Tauranga through our various ministries and missions.”

Steve says the church is also for-tunate to have the Pathways Bible College and Cool Bananas as tenants. “Numerical growth within Highlife Youth on Friday nights and Lifezone on Sundays prompted the need for a larger facility.”

The building process has been a real labour of love from a number of volunteers as well as the valuable con-tributions from TECT, Bay Building and Joinery, Carters, Urban Lounge,

Architectural Design Group, Open Doors, Stewart Browne and others. “They have offered discounted rates for their professional services and that deserves a big thank you.”

Steve says everyone is invited to expe-rience a relevant, friendly service this Sunday at 10am, with free cappuccino or hot chocolate for visitors from the church’s Cappuccino Cafe. “There will be some fun events for the kids too.”

Along with the new building, Lifezone has produced a new website (www.lifezone.org.nz) where people can fi nd out a whole lot more about the church. “We encourage personal spiritual growth through involvement in any of our great ministries from life groups through to youth groups through to the creative ministries.

“Hence, our new catchphrase “A place to be”. A place to be what you are called to be. Valued. Empowered. Set free.”

The facility is available for lease for conferences, seminars, workshops. For bookings and rates, contact Sheryl on 07 571 6525.

“We often talk about God being like a father to us,” a

teacher said to her class one Mothers’ Day.

“But have you ever thought of God being like a mother?”

Some children looked at her, and then shook their heads in disbelief. “Nah,” they giggled, not quite able to imagine such a thing.

While we may acknowledge that God-beyond-knowing is beyond gender, sometimes we fi nd it hard to think of God like a mother. Yet the scriptures contain many wonder-ful feminine images for God – like a mother hen gathering her chicks under her wings, like a woman celebrat-ing when she fi nds a lost coin, like a

woman giving birth and nursing her child.

In Hebrew, the words “compassion” and “mercy” are related to the word for “womb”, giving us a clue to the type of love that God has for us and all creation.

How different a place could the world be, if we shared more of the motherly love of God?

For one Puerto Rican woman, it was her grandmother who she felt could best be compared with God.

“If they asked me to draw God”, she said, “I would draw my grandmother smiling. Because she is the only person that I believe has fi lled me … so much that I can compare her with God.

I would draw a picture of my grand-mother with her hands open, smiling,

as if to say, ‘Come with me because I am waiting for you’.”

On this Mothers’ Day, imagine a God who cares for each one of us with the deep love of a caring mother!
