Newsletter – Week Ending 29 October

Big Dig TK Courtyard – (Saturday 28 October,  9.30am – 12 noon)

Come along this Saturday to put the finishing touches to the Te Korōria Courtyard.
There will be muddy boots, lots of LOLs and a healthy dose of sweat. And hidden treasures of course.
Meet 9.30am at Te Korōria in your best gardening outfit and your spade (if you have one).

One Service this Sunday, 29 October at 11 am

This Sunday, 29 October, we are holding one service only at 11am at St Mary’s.
Children & Youth programmes will be on and we will be celebrating Communion.
Join us afterwards for (a hopefully celebratory) morning tea.

We will gather to thank God for the gift that is Te Korōria on Sunday 10 December at 5.30pm. Bishop Justin will be present to blessing the buildings.
We will celebrate with Singalongs of Christmas carols and mugs of mulled wine.

TE KORŌRIA GIFT VOUCHERS NOW AVAILABLE

Need a present idea?  Why not give the gift of hospitality!  You can purchase the vouchers online at tekororia.org.nz, choose your amount, pay online and the voucher will be emailed direct to you or to the recipient as you wish. This is a great way to spread the word about Te Korōria and support our enterprise.

Giving

On our Patronal Festival  Gregor Coster spoke to the congregation about the opportunities to support the work of Karori Anglican financially.  Specifically, we have a loan to service (that enabled the building works to be completed) as well as the opportunity to fund our Youth Minister.  If you would like to give to a specific thing – building, youth salary, vicarage refurbishment, then please just put that in your online banking reference.  You can also email accounts@karorianglican.org.nz and let Jasmine (our accounts administrator) know.

There is also the option to make a bequest to Karori Anglican in your will. Gregor’s slides can be viewed here : Patronal Sunday 13 August 23

We need your continued financial support for the operation of the Parish, including Te Korōria.  If you were previously giving to the building of Te Korōria (and have now completed your pledge) Thanks so much!  Please prayerfully consider continuing that level of support. We are very thankful to the many generous givers in our Karori Anglican community.

If you need further information on how to give, a giving number or information on how to set up a bequest, please contact accounts@karorianglican.org.nz
