Evensong this Sunday 6pm
Contemplative Prayer Service – This Monday 7th July
We are starting a new Contemplative prayer – Listening to God service, open to all. This is an opportunity to pause in the middle of our busy lives, to take some time out, to enjoy some quiet and just listen to what God is saying. On the first Monday of each month, in St Mary’s Church, starting Monday July 7th from 7.30pm until 8.00pm
Funding Appeal – Support our Youth Ministry
We are aiming to raise $50,000 to sustain this important ministry. Thank you to those who have already responded, we are on our way with $14,100 already pledged/donated.
If you are able to support this work, please make a donation to:
Karori Anglican Church
Account: 02 0500 0019955 00
Reference: Youth Work
Every dollar makes a difference and directly impacts the lives of our young people. Thank you for being part of this mission and for investing in the future of our faith community.
Since joining Karori Anglican in August 2022, Ben, our Youth Minister, has brought energy, heart, and vision to our Youth Ministry. Under his faithful and consistent leadership, this vital area of parish life has flourished — young people are growing in their faith, forming meaningful connections, and becoming active participants in the life of our church.
Ben’s ministry is more than weekly gatherings and youth events. He is mentoring teens, supporting families, building bridges between generations, and creating a safe, Christ-centred space where our young people feel valued, heard, and inspired to follow Jesus.
All of this is only possible through the generosity of our church community. The funds raised previously to support this ministry have now been fully used. To continue this transformative work, we are launching a Youth Ministry Funding Appeal and are asking you to prayerfully consider contributing towards Ben’s ongoing salary and ministry costs.

July – October Service Rosters
There are hard copies available to view on the inside of the welcoming cupboard. If you cannot make your rostered date, you are responsible for organising a swap/cover. Infoodle has the most up to date versions of the rosters. If you need any contact information email the office and we can assist Office@karorianglican.org.nz
Note that if you have been rostered onto Morning Tea, this is for your whole House Church and for both the 9am and 10:30am Services, so please let your whole House Church know. Even if you, yourself cannot make it, then it is more then likely that your House Church team will be able to help fill the gaps.
