YOuth Term 2 2021

Paddy and T Chrisp are back in NZ for a short visit and are holding a ‘catch up’ ICE CREAM event, Thursday 13th May @7.30pm in the Hannan Centre .

Do come along for a catch up, they would LOVE to see you!

They will supply lots of ice-cream choices.  Bring your favourite toppings! {cereal? fruit? 100’s n 1000’s? cake? crumbled biscuits etc }

Ph them for more details 02040 8988 09, we HAVE MISSED you all – it’s been too long!!!!

Seeking an ‘Apprentice Organist’. Our current team of organists would like to add another person to their team.  This person would hopefully be a parish member, or at least from a parish family, and the only qualification needed would be reasonable competence on the piano.  Richard would undertake to show them around the organ, and help with registration etc.  To begin with no pedals would be included.

If you can think of anyone who would be keen to ‘try out’ playing the organ, please contact Richard Studholme: 021 0244 2385

The office is getting rid of an Epson inkjet colour printer (Stylus XT100). This printer can also function as a one page photocopier & scanner.  Please contact the office if you would like this printer.

On behalf of Anglican Missions I wanted to thank St Augustine’s for its very generous contribution to the Lenten Appeal.

Your total of $2,589.50 is an outstanding effort!

We really appreciate this donation and for your ongoing generosity to the work of Anglican Missions.

Ngā mihi and with blessings,         Michael

Rev. Michael Hartfield – National Director

Please continue to pray for the projects.

Prayer for St Luke’s Hospital, Nablus: Our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray that you keep St Luke’s hospital and employees safe and well – give them good health and energy.

We especially pray for the maternity wing and for your provision for new beds which will greatly improve services for local mothers. Amen.

Prayer for the Diocese of Egypt: Lord, we give thanks for the Christian congregations of Egypt and in particular we pray for the youth that they will feel equipped and encouraged by the youth leadership training being offered. May they always find their home in Jesus. Amen

Prayer for the Anglican Church of Melanesia: Almighty God, we give thanks for those brothers and sisters in the church of Melanesia who choose to serve you – for the religious communities and for the sisters who support the vulnerable at the Christian Care Centre in Honiara. We pray for the successful and safe installation of water tanks and systems; and that these will be a blessing for these communities. We thank you Lord for your provision. Amen

These are now available for collection at the back of the Church.

(Again, like last year, some have had had their actual envelope number changed; this is an on-going process to attempt to reduce the number of envelopes we need to get printed.)

If we had 3 more volunteers to assist we may have a “perfect world” where we all get less turns!

Any takers?

Please phone Yvonne on 332-6634 or 027 399-8710

We offer a prayer box for all prayer requests at the back of the church.  Forms are provided for anyone to write out a prayer request (anonymously, or with your name) and pop it into the box.  Each item will be prayed for confidentially, for four weeks by a small team of parish pray-ers.  Liz Hay, Prayer Co-ordinator.
