This month, let us as a Parish be praying for:

• Our ongoing Alpha Course: for the volunteers, the attendees and for the work God is doing in people’s lives!

• Our Parish as we look ahead to the appointment of a new vicar: for God’s vision, renewal and blessing for our future.

Farewell to Peter

This week marks Peter’s last service at St Leonard’s, Matakana. His final service and farewell to the Parish will be held next Sunday, 20 July, at 9:30am in Christ Church, Warkworth.  Morning tea will follow the service.  All Parishioners—whichever centre you usually attend—are warmly invited to join in this special occasion.

Parishioner seeking accommodation

One of our parishioners is looking for new accommodation.  A mature single woman (non-smoker, no pets) is looking for a flat or studio to rent, approx $400/week, in the wider Warkworth area - needs to be on a bus route.  References are available.  Phone Nicki on 0210 8088 740.

Alpha Course 

Alpha continues on Thursday evenings at 7pm in the Parish Hall.  This coming week we will be looking at the question, Why and How do I Pray?  

From the Churchwardens

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, 02-0480-0021360-00 with the same reference. (Don’t forget to include your giving number as well).
