This evening is especially for those who are still settling in or exploring what being part of Karori Anglican might look like — so if that’s you, we’d love to see you there!
Contemplative Prayer Service – 4th August
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, Monday August 4th 7.30pm until 8.00pm
Funding Appeal – Support our Youth Ministry – We are nearly there!
A big thank you to the 20 families/individuals who have already contributed to the Youth Minister Appeal — your generosity is deeply appreciated! If you haven’t had a chance to give yet, we encourage you to consider doing so this week, especially if you’re a parent of a youth or care about the next generation growing in faith. Every gift, big or small, makes a real difference in helping us invest in our young people. We are getting close to hitting our target – and together we can do it!
We are aiming to raise $50,000 to sustain this important ministry. We now have $41,187 already pledged/donated.
