GET ONE. GIVE ONE. CAMPAIGN
This awesome campaign is being run by Anglican Missions and the Anglican Movement Online’s social justice team. Called ‘Get One, Give One’, the idea is that when every Anglican gets their health-system funded vaccine, they are invited to donate the price of another vaccine for someone in the majority world who otherwise might not get one, or would be delayed in receiving it. The main ‘give a little’ page is now open and you can find more information on the Anglican Movement website.
PARISH DINNER – SAT, 3 JULY
Our Parish Dinner is coming up next weekend, Saturday, 3 July. Seats are now very limited. If you would like to attend email heidi@karorianglican.org.nz
GIVING – REMINDER
As BNZ no longer accepts cheques, could you please arrange your giving through either cash/envelopes or online banking. If you have any queries or problems relating to this change, please do get in touch and we will be more than happy to help you out.
