    Cycles of Hope

    Christmas 2016

    Newsletter for the Christchurch Methodist Mission

    A time to give hope and joy to those in need


    The Christchurch Methodist Mission is making
    a difference in the lives of children, families
    and older people who need the most help this
    Christmas.
    Christmas remains a special time. For one day
    of the year our busy lives seem to slow down
    enough to unplug from the world and enjoy
    time with family and friends.
    It is also a time of great distress for many people
    in our community; families in poverty who are
    struggling to afford rent each week - let alone
    being able to celebrate Christmas; older people
    who are socially isolated; children in the middle
    of a relationship breakdown who are feeling
    angry, unloved and unable to understand why.
    The issues faced throughout the year by our
    most vulnerable do not simply disappear as the
    year draws to a close. It is at this time in which
    they need our help the most.
    We are able to make a difference to these
    people because of you.
    Your support at this time of the year enables
    food hampers and gifts to be provided to
    families and older people so they can enjoy
    Christmas without worrying about how they
    can afford to do so. Your generosity empowers
    and equips our social and community workers
    as they work to ensure that families basic
    needs for shelter, food and warmth are met.
    Your partnership with us means that homeless
    families in our community will have a warm,
    secure and affordable home to live in this
    Christmas.

    Thank you to all the donors, funders, volunteers


    and colleagues that have partnered with us this
    year to make a difference in our community. The
    Christchurch Methodist Mission will be able to
    provide hope and joy to those who need it most
    this Christmas because of this support.
    Jill Hawkey,
    Executive Director

    2016 Public Celebration


    On the 3rd November, the Christchurch
    Methodist Mission (CMM) held its inaugural
    Public Celebration at the Christchurch North
    Methodist Parish. It was a fantastic opportunity
    to share highlights from the 2015/16 year with
    supporters.
    CMM Board Member and kuia Roz Wilkie
    opened the evening with karakia which was
    followed by Deputy Chair Martin Hadlee
    welcoming everyone on behalf of the Board.
    CMM Executive Director Jill Hawkey then spoke
    about the many new developments that took
    place over the year. She noted that people
    share in CMMs work because they have the
    co-belief that a better world is possible - a
    world where people are cared for and the
    most vulnerable in our society have every
    opportunity to flourish.

    spoke about some of the economic reasons


    behind child poverty today being much higher
    than in 1984 and why so many NZ parents cant
    access enough economic resources to raise
    their children well.
    A big thank you to all who attended and made
    this evening a great success. CMMs 2016
    Annual Report and audited financial statements
    are now available online at www.mmsi.org.nz/
    about-us/key-documents or can be posted to
    you by contacting us on 03 375 1470.
