The advertising in The Weekend Sun was very very good and I am extremely pleased with all the calls I have had since placing the ads. I will continue to advertise with such a great response.
The Classified Section works like a directory. If you have a regular appearance in the Classified Section, people know where to look for your services when they need them. The Weekend Sun has a very popular Classified Section that is constantly building, and becoming a vital advertising tool. Another benefit to advertising in the Classifieds, is that we can always find something that will cater to suit your advertising needs and budget.
We can also fit Classified 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 Classified Section to get it into the paper. Colour advertising is also very affordable in the Classified Section. It costs just $25 +gst extra to add colour to your advert – a fantastic investment to increase the profile of your advert.

VIP Home Services owners Richard and Sheila Logan took over in 2008. “Work is customised to suit the needs of every client,” say Richard and Sheila. “We are in the people business and everyone has differing likes and dislikes, right from the type of products used to clean to a particular manner in which they want their property maintained and edges trimmed.” The couple are also inviting others to consider joining the VIP family. Opportunity for growth and earnings potential is limited only by the attitude and passion that a franchisee brings to their business, says Sheila.

Almighty God, humbly acknowledging Each time our parliament meets, the speaker of the house recites a prayer before anything else transpires. His prayer is: “Almighty God, humbly acknowledging our need for thy guidance in all things, and laying aside all private and personal interests, we By Peter Whitcombe, Jesus First Church
beseech thee to grant that we may conduct the affairs of this house and of our country to the glory of thy holy name, the maintenance of true religion and justice, the honour of the Queen, and the public welfare, peace, and tranquility of New Zealand, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” Consider what is prayed here and that God hears every prayer! Firstly, our nation’s leaders acknowledge their need of God’s guidance in all things. Secondly, their declared intention is to conduct the affairs of parliament to the glory of God’s holy name. Thirdly, all of this they state is through Jesus Christ, who is referred to as ‘our Lord’. If this is their avowed intention, how can they then
ignore God and His Word, which is truth? If they genuinely desire to conduct business on the basis of glorifying God’s holy name, how can they then even consider passing laws that blatantly ignore God’s Word and that stand in direct opposition to the things that God declares holy? This article was written for Sunlive prior to Wednesday, April 17 when our parliament would have decided on the definition of marriage. The argument before them was that the Church has defined marriage over time but that society has moved on so we need to redefine this established institution because we need to embrace new relationships that should be constituted as marriage relationSunday Gatherings ships. The truth is that God 10:00 am Mount Sports Club established marriage as 51 Miro Street the covenant relationBlake Park ship between one man one woman. He The Mount and declares in Genesis 2:24: “a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh”. Therefore, God defined marriage and He defined it in those terms, not the Church. On that basis and on the basis of the parliamentary prayer, does the Government have the right to redefine what God has defined? Equally, does the Government have the right to decide that there is “new truth” that needs to be embraced, as if somehow God was outof-date? The words of Jeremiah 7:28 must ring in our ears: “This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord their God or receive instruction and correction and warning; truth and faithfulness have perished and have completely vanished from their mouths”.
