Healing Service - this evening

This Sunday evening everyone is invited to enjoy a service of worship, prayer and praise followed by the opportunity to receive prayers for healing and anointing with oil.  Whether it be for something physical, emotional or spiritual, if you would appreciate prayer for yourself or someone else you are most warmly invited.  

The service starts at 5.30pm this Sunday (29 June), in St Leonard’s Matakana.

Alpha Course 

Our Alpha Course is running on Thursday evenings at 7pm in the Parish Hall and, yes, you can still join in.  This coming week we will be looking at the question, Why did Jesus die?  If you would like to explore this question, why not come along and enjoy some delicious dessert and good discussion. If interested, you can email lisa@warkworthanglican.nz. 

From the Churchwardens

As you all know, Peter will be leaving us soon to take up his new responsibilities as Archdeacon and Bishop’s Executive Chaplain. We would like the Parish to give Peter a gift as he leaves us, so we invite parishioners to contribute to the gift by either putting an envelope into the offering bag indicating ‘Gift for Peter’ or making a deposit to the Parish bank account, with the same reference. (Don’t forget to include your giving number as well).
