Most of the congregation participated with their own colourful contributions to a giant 5×5 mural to celebrate the commencement of Matariki. The result will stay on display for the season of Matariki in the Toi Gallery, at the Durham Street entrance in Aldersgate. See how many Matariki symbols you can spot in the mural – a key to common symbols is next to the mural. 

If you’d like to join in more Matariki fun this year at Aldersgate, we are hosting a Matariki dinner and celebration, at 6:39pm Friday 17 July. Sumptuous food, kite making, singing, and children’s activities. More info from Maui or let us know you are coming for catering purposes at rsvp@aldersgate.org.nz

There is a $10 charge per person to cover ingredients, but don’t let money be an obstacle, just let us know.
