Notices 1 – 8 June

Combined Worship Service for Pentecost: On Sunday 8 June 10am we are combining for a shared service at St Margaret’s Bishopdale. A great way to celebrate God’s Church!

It’s time again to put the Village News together.  This time, I hope to concentrate on our outreach as a church to the community.  If you have a story to tell, or photos to share, please let me know! You can email me or phone – Hannie

Baking for Students: First semester exams are looming and we can show care and support for students on study leave at Rochester and Rutherford Hall with donations of baking. Sandra is coordinating this, and donations of baking need to be left at Bryndwr on Tuesday 3rd June.

Thursday Hour: 5-6pm at the Village Bryndwr, byo drinks.  Join in a social hour, 5^th June.  Contact Mitch & Barb for further information.

Cheese Rolls: If you’re feeling the cold, we suggest a lunch of a cup of soup and a cheese roll will warm you.   We are again making cheese rolls as a fund-raising effort for the parish on Saturday, 14^th June.  These are priced at $15 dozen, or $8 for 6.  The forms are available at the Bryndwr and Papanui offices.  A coffee voucher will be given to the person with the largest order, so ask around your family & friends, and place your orders at either Bryndwr or Papanui by June 8th.   Anyone available to help with the making, please note that on the order form with your order.  Thanks.   Any queries to Lesley, Kath, or Christine.

Please let Kate or Annie know if you are coming (for catering purposes), if you have any dietary preferences, or if you have any questions.

Knit for Purpose: Anyone who has been knitting ‘Peggy squares’, please take them to the collection boxes at the Bryndwr or Papanui offices by 12 June.  They will be taken to Volunteering Canterbury (for assembly and distribution to those in need) on 13 June. Thank you!
