Jenny Mawson

It is with sorrow we let you know that our dear friend Jenny Mawson is now with our loving Father in heaven. The Thanksgiving Service for Jenny’s life will be held at St Mary’s Church at 10.30am Monday 11th September. Our deep condolences to Jenny’s family, please hold them in your prayers.

Help Needed

We are expecting a large number of people to gather for Jenny’s Thanksgiving Service on Monday. If you are able to, please stay behind after the 10.30am service to help prepare the church for this service on Monday morning. We will need chairs to be arranged in the church and the Kowhai room and a quick clean up of the floor and foyer.

Giving

On our Patronal Fesitval  Gregor Coster spoke to the congregation about the opportunities to support the work of Karori Anglican financially.  Specifically, we have a loan to service (that enabled the building works to be completed) as well as the opportunity to fund our Youth Minister.  If you would like to give to a specific thing – building, youth salary, vicarage refurbishment, then please just put that in your online banking reference.  You can also email accounts@karorianglican.org.nz and let Jasmine (our accounts administrator) know.

There is also the option to make a bequest to Karori Anglican in your will. Gregor’s slides can be viewed here : Patronal Sunday 13 August 23

We need your continued financial support for the operation of the Parish, including Te Korōria.  If you were previously giving to the building of Te Korōria (and have now completed your pledge) Thanks so much!  Please prayerfully consider continuing that level of support. We are very thankful to the many generous givers in our Karori Anglican community.

If you need further information on how to give, a giving number or information on how to set up a bequest, please contact accounts@karorianglican.org.nz

Fundraising Concert for the Wellington City Mission – Sunday, 17 Sep, 2pm

On Sunday 17 September 2023 at 2 p.m. Roy Tankersley (harpsichord) and Mark Whitfield (organ) will give a recital at St Pauls Lutheran Church, 12-King Street, Mt Cook, to support the Wellington City Mission’s major new building development: Whakamaru (to shelter and protect) which the Mission hopes will reshape the way it cares for our city.

The programme features works by seven composers, including Francois Couperin, George F. Händel, Johann S. Bach from the Baroque period as well as a recent one by James Woodman. Most will be played on organ and harpsichord in unison. During the interval, the Assistant City Missioner, Mr. Paul Weaver, will give a talk.

Light refreshments will be served after the concert.

Entry will be by koha; $20 per person is suggested.

Please note that parking is available at Massey University ($1 per hour) at 18 King Street (take the ramp off King Street).

Accommodation needed

Andrew Tipping (who grew up in Karori) and his wife and two young children are needing somewhere to stay in Wellington from February 6 – 23 next year, during their visit from London. Would anyone have a house or flat etc that they could lend them for any of this period?

Please contact his parents Simon and Rachel on tipping@xtra.co.nz if you might be able to help. Thank you.
