Renewal Youth Prophecy

This was a prophecy strongly impressed upon the heart of one of our youth at a recent Flame service which they felt led to share with all of us. Please read it, pray about it and act upon it in the way you feel most led to by the Holy Spirit and with His wisdom foremost in your mind. /jon I was just praying and asking God what He wants us, as a youth group, to do now that we have been commissioned with a mission [on the last day of Overwhelmed Camp]. I felt Him tell me that He wants to break our...

Halloween Revisited

Yep, it's that time of the year again, when young Jimmy pleads with his mum to buy him that blood-splattered-glow-in-the-dark meat cleaver on display in the toy store's window.Halloween is 2 weeks away, and once again I'm concerned at the amount of parents encouraging their kids to participate in a celebration which has its roots in pagan devil worship.I wonder, as Mary delights in how cute her 5-year-old...

Congratulations, Jason and Rachel!

What a day! A miraculous circle of blue, aggressively defying the grey-fingered clouds, encircled the outdoor wedding of Rachel and Jason this Saturday; and, despite the despairing premonitions of metservice.com, not a drop of rain fell throughout the entire ceremony (afterward, the rain pelted down like a tide of apprehensive children just released by the starting-gun on cross-country day). Glory...

Jason let-off-lightly van der Hulst

He was tackled and beaten into the sand. He was shackled by trailer strops, shoved in a bathtub, doused in flour and water. He was finally taken about 100 metres down the beach and left by some rocks... Hmmm, nice, but he came out of it with his pride 100% intact and his body 100% unscathed. You be the judge. /j &nbs...

A Hulst-to-be Hens' Party

Some would arguably say that, Rachel, soon-to-be-Hulst, got a far more severe punishment at her Hens' Party than Jase did at his Stag. Personally, I would say they are right. Some of her tasks, whilst dressed as a vivacious chicken, included: Asking for free chocolate at the Fudge Farm Asking for a Rockshop worker's cell phone number Busking outside Farmers Walking down Bank Street in her stately...

Thanks Endless Praise!

If you couldn't make it to one of the services this weekend or the worship workshop on Saturday morning then you unfortunately missed out on a rather remarkable time. Both the Friday night Flame youth service and the Sunday morning Praise Celebration with all the CRF churches united (no, not Hillsong United) were led by Endless Praise and were a huge blessing for all who could make it. From everyone...

If you are in Whangarei this Friday night then come to Flame (CRF, 2 Tarewa Road) at 7pm with a mate tagging along beside you. Awesome Australian worship team Endless Praise will be playing, and best of all it's FREE!
