Parish Karakia

This year we will be resuming our regular Parish Karakia prayer meetings on the second Wednesday of the month, starting on 8 February at 10am in Christ Church. To start the year we will be praying for the renewal of our Parish, the re-engagement of our ministry to children and families and also spending some time in listening prayer, seeking God’s word.


Explorer Kids

Our Explorer Kids Sunday morning program restarts in February. Explorer Kids is a fun program of activities, music and teaching for children ages 5 to 10. It is held at the 10am service in Warkworth every 1st & 3rd Sunday of the month in term time AND during the 9.30am service in Matakana every 2nd & 4th Sunday of the month.

The program will begin again at Matakana on Sunday 12 February and at Warkworth on Sunday 19 February. If you know a family that might enjoy Explorer Kids, why not speak with Nina about how to invite them.

This year we will be holding a special combined service on the morning of Sunday 19 March 2023 to celebrate our life together as a Parish. Details to follow but, in the meantime, please save the date.
