Power Hour has a lectionary based programme for children aged 3 - 11 years.
Tots' Time runs for 3 - 4 year olds and is a creative teaching time which includes hands on activities, story time, song, dance and drama.
A lively programme runs for the Year 1-8 children. We are switched on to a morning of exploration and discover, fun, feelings and creativity in a kids friendly way. Surprise food is made for morning tea! Every term we set aside a session for a fun family event.
Power Hour is lots of fun for children, helpers and parents. Power Hour runs from 9:30 - 10.45 am every Sunday during school terms.

Our hearts sing with joy when we serve others. We enjoyed making the St Ronan's Christmas tree decorations and passing them out to everyone to help decorate. Congratulations to Bridie Bagnall for receiving a prize for learning the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule!

We were so happy making the Christmas cake for St Ronan's.It was such a special way to start our Power Hour doing something very special for others. And we so carefully carried the bowl together into the morning tea room.

Guess what?! The children and Sunday School Leader of St Paul's Trinity Pacific Church-Chch have sent us a letter! The children and youth were speechless and very grateful for all our gifts. They think our gifting was an awesome example of the SERVE theme that their Sunday School has adopted for 2011

We are learning now about the exciting story of Elijah the prophet and how he comes to know the power of God. Elijah did as God said and God provided him with food wherever he went. We loved eating the bread we made on Sunday.

We loved acting out with costumes Peter's story about how he escaped from jail with the praying help of the New Church and continue spreading the Good News. We are now praying each week too with the Holy Spirit for others for whom we care.

In spreading the good news and growing the new Christianity by Peter, we learnt that he healed Aeneas and Dorcas (Tabitha) through praying to God who would listen and act. We too are now praying for others whom we know need healing.

We have news!
The Sunday School children and Superintendent Mark Tulia of St Paul's Trinity Pacific Church-Chch were excited last Sunday when our box of beanies (from our good Beanie Knitters) and Sunday School materials were distributed at church. They loved it! We feel really happy!
At St Ronan's there is a particular solo parent family with wonderful girls and boys aged 4 to 9 years and who have such open souls to be richly nourished.
As one of our well talented St Ronan's members, would you please be willing to gift one minute, literally, of whatever talent you choose, to this family after you have had your cup of tea or coffee after the church service?
All you have to do is come to the Church Hall Blue Room and choose something from the gift list to give to our lovely family, e.g. return the white board to its place, stack 7 small chairs, collect the glue pots, wash food plates and spoons, shut the windows, push a couch back. In return a lovely family will feel quite loved. And you will be blessed. From the "solo parent "with hope and trust,
Susan at Power Hour
