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.

The Weekend Sun
No longer all together, but all alone “All together, all alone” is descriptive of human relationships throughout our culture. Although we are more connected than we have ever been, through the wonders of modern technology, the reality is that most people feel more alone and unknown than at any other time in human history. Today, we relate without relationships. Life today is about “me”, “my” and “mine” - it is about self-seeking independence and looking out for ourselves. Society is no longer about communities as it once was and we have little contact or genuine relationship with people we interact with in life, outside of the environments (work, school, play) in which that interaction takes place. Sadly and contrary to God’s Word, the influence of that worldly culture is seen in the Church in the Western world. Instead of being “living stones” being built up together
to be the temple of the Lord, a dwelling place for God by His Spirit and a fully functioning body where every member functions in living relationship and in mutual inter-dependence with the rest of the body, much of the Church is “all together, all alone”. Instead of the Church being a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, a called-out community of people walking together in dynamic relationship, much of the Church functions in whatever comes out of a group of individuals being together for something spiritual on a Sunday morning. After that, we go back to “our lives” and there is little or no sense of biblical relationship, there is little or no sense of community or of being called and fashioned together for a divine purpose and we miss the significance of the corporate vessel God that God purposed in establishing the Church. I can’t have a right relationship with Jesus for just two hours on
a Sunday, nor can I have a biblical relationship with the Church which is His Body, just for two hours on a Sunday. The Church can never be living stones built together to be “a spiritual house, a holy priesthood” (1 Peter 2:5) while we live like the world, in self-seeking independence.Visit with us on Sunday.

The Slow Bible movement Part two of three
I’m advocating ‘slow’ bible reading. Rather than a Bible-in-a-year plan, I’m for a slower reading of the biblical narrative. Reading the Bible can be a daunting task and, to their credit, Bible-ina-year plans attempt to make it less daunting. Slow reading however, is intended not only to make the Bible less daunting, but to also aid with the comprehension and application of God’s Word in the day to day of life’s journey. What might ‘slow reading’ that leads to ‘Bible living’ look like, then? Firstly, it is helpful to remember that the Bible was always intended to be read in ‘conversation’. Most of the books of the Bible are addressed to a community of people who would have engaged with the content in a discussion with each other, both the young and the old, the immature and the wise. Reading it in a ‘community’, with the benefit of the input of others, makes it much easier to make sense of. But to do this you need to slow down. Trying to read with a friend (or a
group of friends), as well as inviting an expert into the discussion, means 3.2 chapters every day for 365 days will simply be impossible. Don’t even worry about this. Aim instead to tackle a couple of books of the Bible in a year, perhaps between two and dour. Relax with this as a goal, read and converse. Secondly, you might be wondering where you can find an expert to join your discussion. They’re not that hard to find, the experts write books! N.T. Wright, one of the world’s leading Bible scholars, has a series of books called For Everyone in which he explains in simple terms what’s going on in the
various books of the New Testament. Just Google John for Everyone or Romans for Everyone. Get a couple of friends working through a For Everyone book and meet up to discuss from time to time. Your comprehension and of course with it, the challenge to apply the Bible to your daily life, will go through the roof. You’ll also be able to encourage, provoke and challenge each other along the way. As well as enjoying each other’s company. Make a start – it’ll be worth the effort. Next week will finish off with two more thoughts. Joseph McAuley

Switching over early Western Bay of Plenty residents need not wait for the digital switch over later this year to experience quality TV in their home. Local company Technology Assistance Ltd is helping homes upgrade to digital now and leave their poor TV reception behind – even in remote areas. With more than 14 years in the home appliance industry, owner Dane Attwood has been installing Freeview satellites for six years in the Bay. Passionate about supplying a memorable and quality
service, Dane removes and recycles all the old aerials and parts. He also specialises in multi-room and extension sockets and supplies approved decoders. Based in Te Puke, the company services the rural Bay community, including Maketu, Paengaroa, Pongakawa, Otamaraukau and Pukehina – but Dane still covers the whole Western Bay. In order to better suit clients, he works flexible hours, including Saturdays when needed. Give him a call to switch over to the digital age today. By Corrie Taylor
