The theme is Hei Hanga ana e te rangatiratanga ā te Atua: Tūmanakohia te ohorere / Building the Kingdom of God: Expect the unexpected.
In building the kingdom of God, our human expectations are challenged. Tūmanakohia te ohorere! Expect the unexpected!

We are in the midst of Rēneti/Lent. This 2nd package from Disability Ministry Education invites people to continue to reflect on the reality of living in our bodies.
The main theme is “How to live more fully.”
Impairment/disability is often seen as wholly negative. However, living with limitation is part of being human. Experiencing our limitations can lead us into life on a deeper level. Sharing these experiences can help us all become aware as to how limitations/impairment are gifts to our communities.
It is hoped that these posters may encourage korero/discussion/talanoa around how do we regard our bodies as part of God’s good creation.
In this package there are posters for Lent 4, Lent 5, Rātapu Nīkau / Palm Sunday, Taite Mone / Maundy Thursday, Paraire Pai / Good Friday, and Te Rā o te Aranga / Easter Day.

Let’s Unite in Action to make our church more physically accessible
Everyone benefits from having good access particularly people using wheelchairs, walkers, pushchairs, crutches, heavy equipment. People who have poor balance, back problems, or in pain.
The theme is Proclaim the Good News.
Many disabled people experience some exclusion in society. Exclusion may range from not being able to get into buildings, finding difficulty getting employment to being socially excluded from peer groups.
How do we proclaim the Good News to people who often experience some level of exclusion in our society?
