JULY 19 - 21 • SILVERSTREAM RETREAT/WELLINGTON

2023
Highlights

The heart.

PSALM 23

You lead me beside quiet waters, you refresh my soul. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

MATTHEW 25:35

I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.

More Conference has carried with it a question of purpose. Is the conference for development or restoration? This year, the answer is both… and more.

BOTH AND MORE

The plan.

Connection.

Tūhononga

Friday is for connection, for gathering as leaders to rangatahi and tamariki across our territory.

Development.

Whakawhanake

Saturday is for development, upskilling, relearning, gaining and sharing knowledge and experience.

Rest.

Tā te ihu

Sunday is as the Lord intended, for rest and restoration. To look back and see the work that’s been done, acknowledge the work ahead, and dwell in the peace.
