   From the Vicar 

Happy Father's Day everyone!

Neil and I are at Diocesan Synod for the next couple of days.
(If you don’t know what Synod is, ask a friend)

Please pray for us, and for all those gathering at Synod - that amid the reports, resolutions, conversations and cups of coffee, we might listen well to one another and to what God is saying to the Church.

Children & Families Ministry
We did “MONSTER ART" last week in our Arts4Kids outreach program and the kids really enjoyed making their creations!  With the cold weather this term it has been a hit having milo and biscuits for the Matakana kids when they arrive.
In total we reach 70 children and youth during the week with our Explorer Kids Program, Arts4Kids and Lift Youth Group!

Meanwhile……. out at St Leonard’s
We had record numbers of children out at Matakana for the Art4Kids program this week,  with extras walking in off the street wanting to join.

And, the St Leonard’s mens’ meeting  😁
The ‘St Leonard's Blokes Group’ meets the first Tuesday of the month at Brambles in the Country Park.  There is no agenda, no apologies needed and no topics banned, just good ol’ - men meeting together.
