Today’s Service
This week we continue looking at the theme of rest.
We are in the midst of an anxiety epidemic in our culture, we are always having to buy more, we are always having to do more.
Reading from Mark Chapter 6 this week, we are reminded that the Sabbath is an invitation to have one day to fully rest and recover from all that you do.
We are encouraged to take the time on the sabbath to embrace Christian values. To become more Christ-like in the world and to do it by resting.
We are invited to take time out, so we can be generous to others with our lives.
Mark 6:30-34, 53-56

Conversation about the Treaty is happening all around us. There is an important opportunity right now to dive into our shared story so that we know our place to stand and how we can belong, wherever our ancestors came from.
'Belonging in this land: Treaty basics from a Christian perspective' is an opportunity for our faith community to explore the story of the Treaty of Waitangi over two 90-minute video sessions. Whether you know a lot, or a little, let’s be curious together.
Brought to us by Common Grace Aotearoa in partnership with Karuwhā Trust and Te Manu Hononga - the Sir Paul Reeves Centre, we will hear from expert presenters, including Dean of Taranaki Cathedral Jay Ruka and former Anglican Archbishop David Moxon, to help you refresh or expand your knowledge.

Hope for the Holy Land
The one inevitable outcome of armed conflict is the significant loss of human life and dignity – on any side.
The Diocese of Jerusalem is receiving funds from Anglicans around the world to support Al Ahli Anglican Hospital which is currently open, providing medical assistance and shelter to those in the North of Gaza. During a brief ceasefire, the World Health Organization (WHO) was able to oversee a delivery to the hospital, which remains the only functional medical centre in the northern part of Gaza.
