Today’s Service
This week the book of Mark challenges us with a radical view of leadership. I’m excited to speak on this topic, because over 10 years ago I wrote one of my favourite university essays based on this, now i finally get to use it!
Next Sunday we have Grant Norsworthy coming as a guest preacher. I have heard very good things about him so am looking forward to hearing him speak. www.grantnorsworthy.com
Mark 10:35-45
Each week we will have one of our children read a Psalm from ‘Psalms for Young Children’ by Marie-Hélène Delval,.
Followed by a member from our congregation leading prayers. If you would like to revisit and reflect on today’s prayer, you can find it over at our Prayers Page
Upcoming Events
How can Christians support the integrity of the Treaty of Waitangi and how might we respond to the Treaty Principles Bill?
Common Grace Aotearoa supports Christians to be an informed, loving and prophetic voice in the conversation about the status of the Treaty of Waitangi. We invite you to come together with like-minded Christians to consider what loving our neighbours might look like in the context of the Treaty Principles Bill.
Local Christian leaders will offer their reflections, including:
Stan Tawa, Te Raranga Bicultural committee
Allan Hou, Asian Community Transformation Trust
Jolyon White, Anglican Advocacy
Common Grace Co-Director Kate Day will share how you can be involved in gathering submissions.
This event is organised in collaboration with Te Raranga
Wednesday 30 October at Northcity Church, 95a Sawyers Arms Road, Papanui, Christchurch.
