Here are the Parish notices for this week.
This week as I reach out to parishes in the Hawke’s Bay Archdeaconry,
I ask for your prayers as many of us gather from Zoom Synod (Thursday
evening through Friday).
COVID-19 Alert levels encourage us to do things differently, to respond
differently, but at the core of our faith is love and hope.Dame Julia of
Norwich writes, “Jesus answered with these words, saying: ”All shall be
well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.”
I, like many of you have been reflecting on the changes in the world over
the last 20 years since 9/11. The footage in documentaries has been a
stark reminder of that day and the changes hat occurred. I wonder what
long-lasting changes this Covid-19 pandemic will bring? We may only
know when we look back from 2040/41!
Anglicans Worshipping Together
As we return to Morning worship in our churches, we will offer an online
alternative for those not yet able to get out and about. In addition to
what our parish is doing for worship, we will include an invitation to join
with the Archdeaconry of Hawke’s Bay Cities online worship, Sunday
mornings at 10am.
May our faith fill us with love and hope…
David
Welcome. It is good to be able to gather again, safely. We will continue
to provide opportunities to worship online as we move forward.
As we come together today, please do as we ask: maintain at least a 2
metre distance from those around you. As tempting as it maybe please r
refrain from lingering or gathering following the service. Please stay
home and seek medical advice if you feel at all unwell. Do not come to
church. Wear a mask, scan in, keep a record of your movements, maintain good hygiene. We thank you for your support in keeping yourself and those around you safe and well.
There will be no morning tea served during Delta Level 2. Please feel free
to take this service sheet away with you.
The Parish Office will be open to callers from 9am Monday 20th Sept.
