Weekly Bulletin: Staying connected as a church - 10 July 2022

Kia ora St John’s whānau,
 
This Sunday we hear Jesus tell a story …to provoke our imagination and stir us to action.

If you want to read the Bible reading before Sunday, it is: Luke 10:25-37

OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT

ST JOHN’S VISION

We have articulated a fresh Vision for St John’s. And everyone is invited to get involved as we follow this Vision as a way to reform, restore and rebuild us as a Church.

Over several weeks we have had various presentations and discussions, and a summary of the Vision is available to read here:

“We explore and share the gospel with our dynamic neighbourhood. We create safe spaces to be, to belong, and to navigate the tough stuff. Getting to know God is a team sport – that’s why we do this together, not alone.”

The invitation is for us to activate our Vision through projects that interest us. We can get together with others to collaborate.

SHARING THE JOY OF FOOD

At Matariki we celebrated, remembered, learned, shared and prepared. There were wonderful responses to the invitation to share our favourite recipes.
