Give comfort and peace

Ministry

Feb 25

God of consolation, give comfort and peace to those in Te Tairāwhiti and Hawkes Bay as they take stock of damage, and plan recovery.

Give wisdom to decision makers, and compassion to all as they navigate difficult situations.

Be with us, Lord, as we continue our Lenten journey. May we find the joy in simple living, and be freed from temptation and test.

We pray for those we know who are sick or in need of our prayers.

We pray for those in Long Term Care.

Continually Sustained by God

Feb 14, 2025

Rev Simon Green, Priest-in-Charge

Will we make the choice to live as those who love the way of God and therefore find the depth, refreshment from the true source of life? Or do we choose a life of being blown around in the breeze avoiding the true source of life that provides us with rootedness, security and life?

The Prophet Isaiah

Feb 7, 2025

Rev Simon Green, Priest-in-Charge

Isaiah has been called by God to bring the people to account for their actions. They had turned away from God and that was being shown in how they were treating their brothers and sisters. Isaiah recognises his own faults and he is forgiven by God.
