A quick note of thanks to all those who supported the fundraising film evening.  Heartfelt appreciation – from all the Team.

We would love to have you at our fundraising evening for Rachel’s Vineyard and to ask you for your prayers for its success.

The next Retreat is only a few months away (in November)  and to ensure that this goes ahead,  we need this event to be successful.  If you can help by attending or selling tickets please contact Wendy on 027 254 9222 or info@rachelsvineyard.org.nz. The movie is an oldie but a goodie and has had good reviews so it should be a great night out.  Tickets are $20. The movie starts at 6.30pm with drinks on Monday the 15 of October, at Lighthouse Cinema – 52 Beach Road, Petone. Thank you for your continued prayer support in the work to heal those affected by abortion. Please feel free to distribute this RVR film flyer. Blessings.

Nothing quite like a good movie with friends in winter! On Monday the 15 of October we have a film evening planned as a fundraiser. Tickets are $20 each and details of the movie and venue are to be advised – watch this space. Email info@rachelsvineyard.org.nz

The third Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat for 2011 has been held and the Wellington-based Retreat Team has a programme of three more scheduled in 2012.

“It has been a rewarding, if at times challenging year for this work,” said the Rachel’s Vineyard Retreats Site Leader, Suzanne O’Rourke.  “The first Retreat took place a few days after the February earthquake and the second Retreat took place, quite literally in the shadow of the Chilean volcanic ash cloud.  To have successfully managed three weekends, drawing participants from throughout New Zealand, has taken a quiet army of support, for which we are very grateful.”  RVR Thank You for 2011
