Prayers - 4th October 2026

E te Atua tino tapu
E rapu ana mātou
i Tō mata;
E huri ana ngā whakaaro
Ki a rātou kua wehe atu ki tua o te ārai.
Meinga kia noho rātou kei roto i Tō poho
Meinga kia huri mātou ngā morehu
i ō mātou ngākau ki a Koe.

Holy God
We seek Your face.
We also turn our thoughts.
To those who have passed beyond the veil.
May they rest in You.
May we who are left
Turn our hearts to you.

Jesus said… “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.  For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.

[Matthew 21: 31b-32]

He karanga ki te īnoi -
Maranga e te kaimoe!
Maranga mai i te mate!
We are called to pray -
Wake up, sleeper!
Rise from the dead!

Titiro ki a Ihu
Kua hikina ake;
Hikina ake ki runga
Hei whakaora i te ao
Look upon Jesus
Lifted up,
Lifted high
To save the world.

What is a vicar?

There’s a good chance you’re at least a little familiar with what a vicar is. You hear them preach. You take communion from them. You admire their funky-looking collar.

The term “anatomy” works well as we investigate the inner workings of the body of Christ as seen in 1st Corinthians ch 12.

Companions with creation: Week Four

Unlike other types of caretakers, priests have the privilege of praying for others and leading them closer to God. They wholly devote their lives to listening well to God, gifting God's truth and love to other people, and proclaiming God's goodness wherever they see it. They connect people to God, earth to heaven. Not only this, but they open up opportunities for humans to connect with each other.
