The Nativity last Sunday was wonderful. A big thank you to everyone that worked so hard to put it on. You are all stars.
Feed My Lambs Christmas Gifts
This Christmas we are helping support Kaitaia families who are struggling and are also receiving much needed help from various government agencies. Many of these folk also attend Feed My Lambs Parenting Classes. We have been asked to provide ‘Pak n Save’ grocery vouchers in a Christmas card and envelope with words of blessing. The family details are available on the free standing notice board in the church. Please take a family’s details and return sealed and labeled envelope to Ian or the parish office by Monday 16 December .
Dino has also asked for petrol vouchers to help these folk drive to and attend the parenting classes. These should be handed directly to the office or Ian. Many thanks for thinking of others less fortunate than ourselves this Christmas.

Staff Updates
Reverend Ian Cook’s Installation service will be held on Sunday 1 March —this is contrary to what was printed on the term calendar you were emailed two weeks ago! Please note down the correct date. Heidi Cavaye has been appointed as our new Ministry Assistant, Administration beginning 3 February 2020. Zoë’s last day was this Friday, 6 December. From then until Heidi joins us, Ian Cook will be the main point of contact.
Christmas Carol Singing in Karori Mall
Each year a group from churches in Karori meet to raise money for Karori Food Bank. Anyone is welcome to join them between 11 am and 12 noon on Saturday 14 December and Saturday 21 December. They usually raise around $500, plus food contributions, and have a fun time singing together.
New Build Fundraising Campaign
On 16 November we launched a new fundraising campaign for the new build. If you missed collecting a fundraising campaign and pledge sheet you can pick these up from the gathering area.
Please return the Pledge sheets as soon as you can, to the office, emailed to Kate or into the marked box on the welcome desk at each service. See Kate Harvey-Green if you have any questions http:// kate@karorianglican.org.nz
