Seasons Greetings

December has arrived and the Christmas season is in full swing. Across Aotearoa the days are brighter, the pace is steady, and there is a real sense of joy as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ. It is a time marked by gratitude, community, and God’s goodness made plain in this season. Please continue reading for key updates, specials, and resources to support your church and your family this month.

Christmas Reading and Gift Ideas


Our Christmas collection is now in store and online. You’ll find a good selection of Children’s Christmas books, devotionals, and inspirational summer reading to carry you through the season.

We also have a great range of gifts and gift vouchers, perfect for family, friends, or church gift exchanges.

Now is an excellent time to browse and secure your Christmas resources while stock is available.

2026 Devotionals and Year A Resources

Our2026 Lectionary, Fresh from the Word, and Upper Room Disciplinesare now in stock. These titles always move quickly at this time of year, so we encourage you to place your orders promptly while stock is still available.

We also continue to hold a solid range of Year A resources for those preparing ahead.

Christmas Delivery Timeframes

As we move into the busy Christmas period, delivery networks across New Zealand will experience heavier volumes and longer processing times. To give your order the best chance of arriving before Christmas, please ensure your order is placed by Sunday 21 December.

Rural and oversized deliveries generally take longer than standard parcels. If your address is rural or your order is bulky, allow up to three additional working days.

Please note that while we will have all orders packed and ready for dispatch on time, delivery is handled by the courier companies. The cut-off dates are guidelines only and are not guaranteed, as weather, congestion, and operational delays can affect arrival times. Ordering ahead of the cut-off is the most reliable way to receive items in time for Christmas.

HOLIDAY OPENING HOURS

As we move into the Christmas and New Year period, please take note of our Auckland shop opening hours listed below. Our online store remains open 24/7 throughout the entire season, giving you the freedom to order whenever it suits you.

Thank you for your continued support and trust. It genuinely helps us serve you well, and we appreciate every order and every visit. May you and your loved ones enjoy a safe and blessed Christmas. We look forward to assisting you through this meaningful season.

Have a Blessed Christmas
