Help for the broken hearted Many people seem to have it all outwardly, but inside may be falling apart, crushed and wounded by their past, whether it be loss, abuse, or broken-heartedness.
Tonia will speak about a woman’s joys, needs and identity, while funeral celebrant Craig Capamagian will speak on ministering to the bereaved. Author Simone van Kan follows with ‘Hearing the call’ and dance choreographer Beryl Wilson’s topic ‘God’s Make Over’ includes the significance of anointing oils. Matthew Lassing will also be singing. Entry is by $10 donation at the door, and participants are invited to bring a shared finger food lunch. A fundraiser table to help support the Holy Trinity hall renovations is also available with crafts and baking. There is no childcare or Eftpos available. Beauty for Ashes with theme ‘Her Name is Woman’ will be held at Holy Trinity, 215 Devonport Rd, Tauranga from 9.45am - 3.30pm on Saturday, May 8.
The next Beauty for Ashes seminar, to be held this Saturday at Tauranga’s Holy Trinity, will address these matters with this year’s theme ‘Her Name is Woman’. Jim and Tonia Butler founded the seminars more than 20 years ago, to help touch the hearts of thousands of people in New Zealand who have suffered hurt and pain from life’s experiences. Also open to brave men, the day’s event, which runs from 9.45am 3.30pm, will feature four speakers covering topics such as grief and rejection issues, and surviving broken relationships, loss and divorce.

Being disciples During Easter, we focus mainly on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In many Christians opinion, it really is the most important time on our calendars. However, we should not forget that he actually lived for more or less 33 years before He died on the cross. After His resurrection, he lived amongst His followers for 40 days and in that time

continued teaching all those who would stop and listen to Him. When trying to live more Christ-like lives it is important to look at the life of Jesus to guide us on our way to being transformed into more Christ-like people. Being a disciple of Jesus Christ means that we are called to be imitators of Christ. Paul says in Romans 12 that we have to give ourselves to God as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to Him. When we give ourselves to God, we give ourselves wholly, mind, body, and soul. We give ourselves to Christ to such an extent that we allow Him to transform our whole being. Living and speaking as Christ lived and spoke should be the aim of every Christians life. Jesus did not only come to die for our sins. He also came to show us how to live a life that glorifies the Father in the same way He did through His life. Phillip Potgieter, St. James Union Church.
