    • From Mike’s Desk …
      • “Since our message is that Christ has been raised from death, how can some say that the dead will not be raised to life?  If that is true, it means that Christ was not raised; and if Christ has not been raised from death, then we have nothing to preach and nothing to believe. …  For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.  And if Christ has not been raised, then our faith is a delusion and we are still lost in our sins. …  If our hope in Christ is good for this life only and no more, then we deserve more pity than anyone else in all the world. But the truth is that Christ has been raised from death!  The guarantee that those who sleep in death will also be raised …”     (1Corinthians 15:12-20) Easter Sunday is the day of days!  The celebration of the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ - the very heart of our faith and hope.  Let us rejoice, and be glad in it!

    • Success in Australia
      • All the hard work paid off for the band when they won the Australian B-Grade on Easter Sunday, 23 March. The Australian national contest was held in Brisbane this year and Pelorus Trust Wellington Brass was one of only two NZ bands, with Dalewool, to make the trip across the Tasman. The band won the Hymn, Own Choice and Test sections and came second in the Stage March, producing an aggregate well clear of the second-placed band. read more

    • Mike Grace's Cook Strait Crossing Attempt
      • Wellington Senior Men's rower Mike Grace, along with Star rower Ben Dunsheath, set out on 15 March on their first attempt to cross Cook Strait in an ocean-going rowing boat. The forecast was for a great day - 2-5 knot northerly winds and a light sea swell. However, after about half way through the trip (taking an hour and 45 mins) the wind was up to 20 knots, and Mike and Ben were forced to pull out. The attempt has not lowered the spirits of the pair, and they plan on having another crack at the crossing as soon as Wellington's weather co-operates.
