This year I wrote two reports for the Annual Report. The first I scrapped half way through, and then began on the one that is in the final report; reflecting on Mary and Martha. Earlier in this past week I went to the Presbytery Minister’s retreat, where the passage chose for our reflection was again Mary and Martha.

The singing group will meet at morning tea to continue practising some songs for Advent. Everyone is very welcome to join in.

See Ngaire Hosking for more details.

This is not so much a meeting, but an opportunity to consider our life and organisation as a church. This is the time when we elect those who will serve on our Church Council, which oversees the life of our congregation. This is the time when there can be open discussion about matters of our church life. This is a time to encourage your church just by being there and participating.

Please plan to attend, following worship, on Sunday 6th November.
