Weekly notices - 10 Sept 2023
Welcome
It’s great to have you join us this morning. A special welcome to you if you are new here. We hope you’ll stay around after the service and say hi.
Kia tau te rangimarie,

Today’s service
Today I'll be sharing about the call we have as a community to look out for each other and to care for one another. This can be difficult in the midst of our busy lives. It can also be hard to learn how to admit that we might be struggling and we need support. This is one of the challenges of following Jesus.
Over the next five weeks we will then look at the Anglican "Five Marks of Mission" which are really inspiring statements about who we are called to be.

New church manager
A Big welcome to the All Saints team to our new church manager Cherie Dirkze. Cherie began work this week. She will be working part time for us and part time for the Anglican Diocese where she already has the roll of Safeguarding Officer. Cherie has managed not for profit organisations previously and we look forward to all she can bring to our Parish. It might be a few weeks before we meet Cherie in person on a Sunday as her family is lambing over on Banks Peninsula for the next few weekends.
