While Covid has kept many of us home over the last month, our services have continued with the support of our Minister Jim Veitch and parish members. Our ringing rosters have supported those who are isolating at home and also those who have been away for various reasons other than Covid. It is times like these that we appreciate being part of the church family and the caring nature of those around us.
If you would like to join us on a Sunday we meet at 9.45am for a cup of tea or coffee and the services start just after 10am, we would certainly welcome visitors, new members and those from other denominations who would enjoy our interactive discussions and services.
On Friday the 19th August, First Church is holding a High Tea, Bubbles & Fashion Show with the sale of full circle high fashion clothing. Tickets are $30. There is a limit of 50 tickets so be in quick to reserve your seat. … Continue Reading

Well, weather like we have had recently makes one understand the frustration of the animals on the Ark! It also poses the question…what on earth did they eat? Not a lot from the Martinborough Community Garden that’s for sure, as with Covid amongst the gardeners and the very wet conditions we have hardly been harvesting our usual contribution to the Larder.
That said…prior to the deluges we had a massive clean- up under our nets, with the purpose of placing, initially a couple of metal planter boxes under the nets, thus raising what , at the best of times, is a damp area of the garden with the hope of having some fast turnaround crops. The planters have been ordered, but in these uncertain times we can but hope for a speedy delivery. Once in place they will be filled in the usual layered approach…cardboard/newspaper; horse pooh; topsoil compost and a warm layer of pea straw. … Continue Reading
