Prayer and Discernment

23/1/2019

Hi everyone, wow! four weeks in already and going well. Here's a wee update for those of you who are coming along on the Tuesdays (or when when you can), or praying at home or at your work place. Thank you.
The last three weeks we've been practicing the how to hear from God and noting down what that is in order to gather this together.
It is simple and everyone gets to play!
We are praying that as a Parish Family we will encounter, hear from God, and discern where the spirit leads is leading us over the next few weeks.
Next Tuesday we will begin to follow the basic morning devotion from the Prayer Book CLICK LINK HERE.
You can also try the Centering Prayer at home that we are using each week CLICK LINK HERE
Please remember to note anything that you think God is speaking to you about (or email it to us here). If you are not sure what it is you are hearing simply use the ABC for confirmation:
  • ASK a wise trusted Christian
  • BIBLE does it align with the bible
  • CONSCIENCE does it sit well with your conscience

This is a time to hear God's heart and will for the future mission and ministry in Rolleston (past, present & mostly future), especially in light of two questions:
  • What does the church of the future look like?
  • How do we reach people who don’t know Jesus yet?
Click here for venue map and address. Tuesdays at 9:30am to 10:15am
God bless you as you prepare to hear from the Father, Son and Holy Spirit :-)

Thank you Church, community and staff at University for the kind donations. Warm Fuzzy Day is a day the Lincoln community donates warm clothing, hot water bottles and bedding for cold students. This year was bigger and better than ever before.
Grace, Warmth and Peace to you from God, and the  Chaplaincy team.

For those of you who may not be aware, we have a monthly women's (and also a men's) breakfast. All are welcome (to the appropriately gendered breakfast) to share in conversation and deliciousness on a Saturday morning, at a different venue each month. Below are some photos taken at July's Women's Breakfast which was at Coffee Club in Hornby.

A goodly number of parishioners gathered for a mock dress rehearsal wedding reception, the substitute bridal party read speeches and telegrams and spoke words of wisdom. It was a wonderful opportunity for the parish to show their love and appreciation of Benjamin and Johannah. Big thank you to all who came to celebrate the upcoming wedding of Ben and Johannah ( ten days to go!). A slideshow of photos taken from the evening is below.

A huge thank you to Jenny Heffer and dedicated her team for the delicious breakfast on Saturday morning. Beans, sausages, bacon, eggs, crepes, toast, cereal, fruit, tomatoes... it was all there!

All up over $1000 was raised, which will go toward research and support for breast and prostate cancers.
