A very warm welcome to all who worship with us today, and especially to Rev Hugh Perry. Please stay for a special morning tea following the service.
Dan will be away from the office on Thursday 26th & Friday 27th September.
We give thanks for the life of Tom Shanks, who passed away quietly on 17th September, aged 88. We pray for his family and friends as they mourn. Rest eternal grant unto him, O Lord.
Seniors Service – we need helpers to provide (a little) and serve afternoon tea on Wednesday 25th September following the 2pm service. Please let Irene know.
Unused tools: do you have any garden tools you no longer need? The Presbytery Iona Project in Aranui urgently needs garden tools (hand saw, spade, fork, rake, secateurs, hand tools, hoses etc…). If you leave tools in the Office or at the MenzShed Dugald will arrange transport to Iona. Thank you.
Sunday 6th October –a “Spring Sing”. Please let Irene know your favourite ‘spring’ hymn to add to this lovely morning of singing. (As Dan will be away, Communion will be celebrated the following week).
The Annual Reports are available. The AGM will be on the 29th September – after church and before morning tea! Any apologies to Irene please.
Wednesday Walkers 18th September: meet 9.30am by the Swanns Rd Bridge for a walk along the Avon River and red zone (Swanns Rd is off Stanmore Rd just north of the Stanmore Rd Bridge). Coffee at Riverlution Richmond Community Garden. It is outside seating so hope the weather is ok. Folk may like to wander the gardens after coffee and check out their recycling initiatives. Janette 021 075 6780.
Articles are being sought now for the Spring ‘Messenger’ – please email any contributions to Sally & Charlotte (hooty@xtra.co.nz) by TODAY. Thank you.

Waltham Community Cottage Seed Swap & Market Day Wednesday 25th September 10am-2pm (weather permitting)
MOVIE NIGHT Saturday 28th September from 5.15pm: A Bette Davis Classic – ‘Now, Voyager’ – A tender love story, a taut psychological drama, an inspiring tale of physical and spiritual transformation. Now, Voyager is all three, as well as a Bette Davis career milestone, resulting in her sixth Best Actress Oscar nomination. She magically plays Charlotte Vale, a spinster who defies her domineering mother (fellow Oscar nominee Gladys Cooper) to discover love, heartbreak and eventual contentment. More magic is generated by a top notch ensemble, Max Steiner’s Academy Award winning score. Comes highly rated by one of our Craft group ladies!
BYO takeaways to eat, hot drinks supplied. Irene 332 7306.
