Vicar's Letter - 4th October 2024

Kia ora, All Saints whānau. 

Guy here! This week, Summer and I are in the throes of the school holidays with the kids, for the first time in our new season at All Saints. So far, so good! It’s a mixture of going slow and keeping active with the kids amidst the “I’m bored” moments. This isn’t too different from our conversation about breathing in and breathing out last week during our first week of Revelation. Feel free to check that out in our sermons section if you missed it. 

Next week, Summer and I will be in Auckland for the Laidlaw Abide conference with others from our diocese. We are hoping and praying for a time of hearing about and seeing how God is working in other parts of the kingdom, as well as discovering tools that might help us as a community as we seek Gods leading at All Saints.

This week, we enter our second week of letters from Revelation, focusing on a God who knows our suffering and trials as we live in this world and live out the good news. We will gather at 9 a.m. and in our House Churches for deeper discipleship, specifically looking at Revelation 2:8-11. 

As you gather, make sure to discuss and decide where your group wants to serve at our annual Light Party coming up on October 27th. There are plenty of opportunities, so feel free to sign up for a couple of slots. Check out the signup sheet in the newsletter. 

Be sure to head over to the notices section of our newsletter to see all that is happening here at All Saints. There’s a lot to get involved with!

Ngā mihi,
