CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who helps look after The Orchard grounds. We won first place in the churches section of the ‘Keep Te Puke Beautiful’ awards. Well done, keep up the good work!!  

Drop in for an hour, or stay for longer. There are six stations based around the Lords Prayer, you can meditate, listen to music, write on the prayer wall…

It’s easy to find, just go to commerce lane and follow the signage. 

The Orchard has committed to Tuesday, but you can go down and fill in a vacant slot at any time during the week. Pray for yourself, your relationship with God, your family, your neighborhood, town, country, or anything else as the Holy Spirit leads you. Communing with the creator of our universe is powerful, God moves in people’s lives and their communities!

We are going to have a photo shoot night, yes that’s right we’ll be shooting photos.
Good times!

Bring yourself, a friend, a digital camera if you have one and a plate(food on it too aye) for supper.
Parents; if you’re available for transport please let us know in advance.

On this night we’ll be doing cool crafts towards badges. Boys and girls will be doing separate crafts (manly and frilly respectively).
Boys remember to bring a 1.5L bottle.

Senior rally you will be rolling candles.
See you there. 

Check out these photos from Rally the other day! (there’s a slider at the bottom to see more) You can see even more photos in The Orchard’s photo album, plus you can watch slideshows or download the photos for yourself there too (click the view on flickr button and then download).

I have experience in working with adults, children over the age of 5 and teenagers; who are experiencing issues in the following areas: 

Grief and Loss | Domestic Violence | Depression | Anger

My name is Claire. 
I am a trained counsellor, with a Diploma in Counselling. I am a full member of NZAC and follow their Code of Ethics. 
Prior to working in Te Puke I worked for 2 years in Rotorua, at Barnardos, as their Counsellor and  Domestic Violence Coordinator & Facilitator for Children’s programme.  

I am also the ‘Growing Through Grief’ Co-ordinator & Facilitator, here in

I am a widow with 4 children. I am a Christian, and I love the Lord. I am committed to following him, however I will not force my beliefs onto you.  

We have all at some stage lost someone…..
Or something we care about….. 
Have you ever felt grief, anger, fear? 
Or just need help in dealing with struggles in life?

WHAT COUNSELLING IS NOT…

I can not fix your problems or give you advice I will not try to change you or grow for you…
What I am here for is to journey with you as you begin to find the answers yourself. 

The Orchard is proud to continue to support our family around the world…
We’ll have profiles and updates here soon.
