BRICK FUNDRAISER EXTENDED UNTIL 30 JUNE!
Invite Friends and Neighbours to buy a brick
Our brick fundraiser has been extended until 30 June and we have a range of different prices to suit you and/or your company! Engrave your brick(s) with a personal message e.g. a name, your business logo, or maybe a dedication! Options from $250. To make a donation go to: karorianglican.org.nz
COMPETITION TIME! – WHO CAN GET THE MOST PEOPLE TO DONATE A BRICK?
WIN A VOUCHER FOR DINNER AT LOGAN BROWN
Selling all 500 bricks raises $100,000. We have 457 bricks left to sell so need help in asking people to donate one. You can ask in-person – pick up some brochures from Church or just direct people to the Karori Anglican website to complete a purchase. If you are on Facebook you can share the opportunity to donate “post” onto your own profile. It’s really easy, and with a personal note above the facebook post, it really does result in bricks being donated. People can have names or business names/logos engraved on the bricks. Some people are buying bricks to commemorate loved ones, which is a great idea. The bricks will be paved outside Te Korōria and the counselling rooms.
Don’t forget to let Kate know which of your friends/relatives donated a brick so we can keep track of the winner. More information can be found at karorianglican.org.nz or contact Kate Harvey-Green kate@karorianglican.org.nz.

CURSILLO
We are pleased to advise that we have two Cursillo’s taking place this year. Cursillo is a short course on ‘Christian Living’ but it is more than this. We have two teams who have trained hard the past year and have put together some fantastic talks and testimonies to share throughout the weekend. Cursillo is a time when we draw closer to the Lord in our relationship with him and a time to simply come and experience all that he has for us. It is a time to be blessed with so many unexpected blessings throughout the weekend and to experience Christ’s love in action as well as fellowship with those around you. Meals and accommodation are all provided and you will have your own bedroom! Cursillo is such a gift to us all.
If you would like to come and experience a Cursillo as a pilgrim our weekends are on:
Women – W44
23-26 June 2022
El Rancho – Waikanae
Men – M44
14-17 July 2022
St Matthew’s Collegiate – Masterton
If you would like to attend, please click on the following link and complete the application form: https://cursillo.org.nz/downloads/app_forms/cursillo_application_form_2017.pdf
We can arrange a sponsor for you and your sponsor will take you to and from your Cursillo weekend so you don’t need to worry about transport. Once you have completed the application form, please scan and email it to: registrar@cursillo.org.nz.
Applications close: Friday, 3 June for Women’s Cursillo and Friday, 24 June for Men’s Cursillo.
