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.<br />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.<br />It is simple and everyone gets to play!<br />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.<br />Next Tuesday we will begin to follow the basic morning devotion from the Prayer Book <a href="http://anglicanprayerbook.nz/104.html#tuam" target="_blank">CLICK LINK HERE</a>.<br />You can also try the <strong>Centering Prayer</strong> at home that we are using each week <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brwjlIpNSug">CLICK LINK HERE</a><br />Please remember to note anything that you think God is speaking to you about <a href="mailto:lincolnparishnz@gmail.com?subject=Prayer%20and%20Discernment%20repsonse" target="_blank">(or email it to us here)</a>. If you are not sure what it is you are hearing simply use the ABC for confirmation:<ul><li>ASK a wise trusted Christian<br /></li><li>BIBLE does it align with the bible</li><li>CONSCIENCE does it sit well with your conscience</li></ul><br />This is a time to hear God's heart and will for the future mission and ministry in Rolleston (past, present &amp; mostly future), especially in light of two questions:<ul><li><font size="3"><strong>What does the church of the future look like?</strong></font></li><li><font size="3"><strong>How do we reach people who don&rsquo;t know Jesus yet?</strong></font></li></ul><a href="http://www.lincolnanglican.org/rolleston.html" target="_blank">Click here for venue map and address</a>. Tuesdays at 9:30am to 10:15am<br />God bless you as you prepare to hear from the Father, Son and Holy Spirit :-)<br />Sampson<br /></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wonderful day celebrating the reopening of St Paul's Tai Tapu.]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.lincolnanglican.org/blog/a-wonderful-day-celebrating-the-reopening-of-st-pauls-tai-tapu]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.lincolnanglican.org/blog/a-wonderful-day-celebrating-the-reopening-of-st-pauls-tai-tapu#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jun 2018 02:11:56 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.lincolnanglican.org/blog/a-wonderful-day-celebrating-the-reopening-of-st-pauls-tai-tapu</guid><description><![CDATA[      [...] ]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.lincolnanglican.org/uploads/9/0/1/5/90151009/tai-tapu_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Huge thank you on Warm Fuzzy Day University]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.lincolnanglican.org/blog/huge-thank-you-on-warm-fuzzy-day-university]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.lincolnanglican.org/blog/huge-thank-you-on-warm-fuzzy-day-university#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Sat, 28 Apr 2018 09:55:28 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.lincolnanglican.org/blog/huge-thank-you-on-warm-fuzzy-day-university</guid><description><![CDATA[Thank you Church, community and staff at University for the kind donations.
