Members of Presbyterian Church congregations won’t be told off for taking their mobile phones out during sermons this Easter Sunday, 8 April.
In fact, minsters will be encouraging them to make more use of texting as Holy Week 2012 (1 – 8 April) sees the launch of Kiwieaster – a chance to step into Easter week’s dramatic events through first person story telling, delivered free to subscribers’ mobile phones either by text, facebook or twitter.
The texting initiative, Kiwieaster, is a partnership between the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand’s Presbyterian Youth Ministry (PYM) and Presbyterian churches throughout the country.
