Weekly Bulletin: Staying connected as a church - 22 October 2023

Kia ora St John’s whānau,

This weekend we meet together as usual on Sunday to worship at 10am.

If you want to read the Bible readings before Sunday, they are:
Exodus 33:12-23
Matthew 22:15-22

Our young people have their peer group time during the second part of the service, going out after the Sung Blessing.
