The advertising in The Weekend Sun was very very good and I am extremely pleased with all the calls I have had since placing the ads. I will continue to advertise with such a great response.
The Classified Section works like a directory. If you have a regular appearance in the Classified Section, people know where to look for your services when they need them. The Weekend Sun has a very popular Classified Section that is constantly building, and becoming a vital advertising tool. Another benefit to advertising in the Classifieds, is that we can always find something that will cater to suit your advertising needs and budget.
We can also fit Classified Advertisements in right up until the very last minute of going to print, which means if you have something urgent, you can usually count on the Classified Section to get it into the paper. Colour advertising is also very affordable in the Classified Section. It costs just $25 +gst extra to add colour to your advert – a fantastic investment to increase the profile of your advert.

The Weekend Sun
Reflecting generosity Home ownership (along with an OE) is often promoted as the quintessential Kiwi dream. Imagine a Miss Universe Pageant where contestants are asked their number one dream in life. Miss France declares “Oh la la, zee world peace”. Miss Sweden announces “Ya da skool for a da childrenz of da world”. It’s not hard to imagine Miss New Zealand saying “Oh to get out of the rental and buy my own pad”. We’re obsessed with owning. The world is obsessed with owning – houses, cars, franchises, water rights, air space, letters arranged in a particular sequence, even ideas; immaterial concepts, can supposedly be owned. From a Christian perspective is ownership really such a big deal? In Psalm 24:1-2 we discover the whole earth and everything in it to be God’s. Deuteronomy 8:17-18 explains even the power to earn or attain is a gift. So, what we possess really belongs to God and any sense of having earned it, attained it by right, or of having achieved it by our own merits fails to recognise the actual ability to earn, attain and achieve is ultimately a gift in and of itself. Of course many people steward that which has been gifted to them better than others, but the foundational
principle is always gift. The point being that: life isn’t about ownership, possession and earned privileges, but rather about generously reflecting the same generosity God has extended to us. Generosity is an overarching way of orienting yourself towards everybody and everything that is birthed in understanding how generous God has been with us. Generosity is a way of being in the world that is independent of how much stuff you actually have. It is a way of orienting yourself and interacting with others that has almost nothing to do with how much stuff you actually have. I’ve met wealthy people who are stingy. I’ve met wealthy people who are incredibly generous. I’ve met poor people who are stingy. I’ve met poor people that are generous. Generosity is about reflecting that which God has shown us. The Gospel, salvation, grace, is all about generosity. God is generous with us in the midst of our stumbling, bumbling, sinful, brokenness. God generously sends his Son, redeems us, reconciles, forgives, and restores us. Then in response to that overwhelming and lavish generosity we become reflections of generosity in the world, reflections of grace, reflections of a good God. By Joseph McAuley
Slowing down and taking stock Most of us don’t relish the thought of winter, even though the Bay of Plenty has a mild climate. For the Celtics, who lived close to nature, the harsh winter was a time to slow down and take stock of things – to keep and preserve life through the rigour of cold days and long nights. There is something comforting about woollen hats and gloves, simmering soup and glowing fires. In Celtic spirituality, God speaks through the world around us: plant growth that slows down, views expanding through bare branches that were obscured by summer leaves, less daylight for getting out and about. We notice that animals huddle together against the cold, tight buds protect petals; and snow offers an insulating layer to everything beneath it. So there is also a call to share the warmth of hospitality and protect
life that is vulnerable. There are a few weeks of winter still ahead. In our technologically-driven, busy existence, when we are reminded of how much we are affected by

Their quality service has the small company growing extensively, so get it quick if you’re lawns need some tender loving care. “We are growing fast, so if you are looking for a regular service its best to get in before the summer rush.”
