Rangi Davis

TOPIC:
He aha te mea nui,
he tangata, he tangata,
he tangata

What is the greatest gift on earth
it is a human being

Rangi Davis is a mother of seven grown children and twenty-two mokopuna.  Born to strong fluent Maori speaking women, and grounded in nature.  Tikanga Maori and Christianity has been the base of her groundedness.

Having a deep appreciation for nature and natural elements through a Maori world view, a strong sense of values both Maori and Pakeha along with creative initiatives holds dear to her heart.  Strengthening   wahine leadership for the sake of her whanau, community, hapu and iwi is a strong calling.

Come along and explore a wairua journey with Rangi.  She will          introduce you to Te Ao Maori, with simple whakawhanaungatanga, storytelling, waiata and build on the gifts and talents that come to the evening.

MUSIC TO HEAL AND INSPIRE
at Takapuna Methodist Church

Once again the Takapuna Music Group presents an evening of jazz-based music-making in a service of worship – a blend of music, prayers and thoughtful ideas, making jazz an integral part of the occasion.

This form of worship dates from the 1960s, when it originated in New York, and has proved increasingly popular over the years.

This year the Group is featuring the Camerata Chamber Choir conducted by Jenny Firth, who will present extracts from “A Little Jazz Mass” by the well-known British Choral composer Bob Chilcott, combined with a number of modern hymns and songs, all with a jazz –based accompaniment.  The audience will be encouraged to swing along with the singers.

On piano we feature the wonderful young jazz pianist Crystal Choi, already making a name for herself in the jazz music world.  Crystal will entertain with some of her expert improvisations as well as leading the accompaniment for the Jazz Mass and songs.  The presbyter, Rev Peter Norman will lead the service and provide commentaries.

Bayswater School Hall

Come along to the next Repair Café in Bayswater at the school hall from 11am to 2pm on Saturday the 25th of March. Hopefully we’ll all have dried out a little by then. It’s great to have Glenys, Dale, et al involved again. It’s a free pop up event where you can bring broken and damaged items. Bicycles – Clothes – Small pieces of Furniture – Small Appliances – Toys. Local volunteer experts will sit down with you, share their knowledge and do their best to repair things. Last time 29 of the 50 items that were brought along were fixed! It’s all about bringing people together, connecting local people in their communities with others who are happy to share their skills and knowledge, saving people money and reducing the amount of material that ends up in our landfills. Lots of opportunity to be part of this, email me at stephen@ancad.org.nz to get involved…

Featuring leading North Shore artists: Janet Gibbs on Organ,
Alison Dunlop on Oboe, Peter Reid on Cornetto and Baroque trumpet.            Solo and in concert.
