Michael Jones to speak at service

Former All Black great Michael Jones will be the guest speaker at the Kowhai Festival combined church service.

The service will be held at Mahurangi College auditorium on Sunday, October 29, at 10am.

This year music at the service will be led by Warkworth’s Ablaze Church.

Rev. Nick McLennan, of Mahurangi Presbyterian Church, says the service is a good opportunity for all local churches to get together and have a celebration.

An offering will be taken during the service to support a local community organisation, yet to be decided.

Participating churches include the Anglican and Presbyterian churches and a number of independent churches.

Last year about 650 attended the service.
