Miramar Christian School Community Fair

Ben Edwards—Youth and Families Pastor at Gateway Baptist—has helped Miramar Christian School organise a fair early in term 4 for the last few years. It is an opportunity for children and families from the local community to have a fun day, and it’s also a chance to promote the school and raise some funds. This year’s event is on Saturday, 4 November.

Another goal is for the Fair to be an opportunity for the churches in the area to bless the community by putting on a fun, quality event to demonstrate our creativity, skills, passions, and love for others. Ben would like to know if anyone in our church would like to get involved in some way.

There are lots of ways you could help:

  • Set up and pack down.

  • Running games and activities or welcoming.

  • Putting on an activity of your choosing - live music, face painting, outdoor games.

  • Donations to the silent auction or a cake for the cafe.

  • Run a stall selling crafts or goods (there would be a small cost to do this).

  • Helping promote the event with letterbox drops.

  • Pray for good weather and that people would be blessed and connections made.

If you would like to help with any of these things, please contact Ben by 22 September at youth@gatewaybaptist.org.nz or 022 401 5720.
