Foodbank

A reminder that our Parish supports the Warkworth Christian Foodbank run by Mahu Vision Trust out of Mahurangi Hope Church. Each week Foodlink gives out 40 food parcels to people in our community.  Donations for the foodbank can be left in the baskets at the back of Christ Church and St Leonard’s every Sunday. 

Note from the Vicar ..

Returning after leave, it has been encouraging to catch up with so many people over the past week. Those conversations – in church, over cups of tea, and in passing — have reminded me of the care, faithfulness, and quiet commitment that shape our parish life. As we begin 2026, I feel hopeful. Hopeful that our parish, with its diverse congregations and worshipping communities, will continue to be a place where God’s love is made evident in real and tangible ways.

This year we will mark 150 years since the opening of Christ Church, the historical heart of our parish. That milestone invites us to give thanks for those who have gone before us, and also to look forward with honesty and trust. The world around us continues to change, and the church is called to discern how we live our faith faithfully in this season.

My hope is that we walk into this year together with courage, gentleness, and attentiveness – trusting the God who has been faithful in the past and is still at work among us.

Grace and peace.

Lisa Guthrie.
