A recent wedding at St Margarets
Gradon, our new minister writes…..
My hope as the new minister responsible for St Margaret’s Te Horo is to get worship happening again in this beautiful church. It is one of the nicest churches I have been in and you can feel a sense of God’s presence there because of all the worship and prayer there over the past 100 years.
It has a hall behind the church called St Annes ( a previous historic church) with an amazing children’s playground that is used on Fridays by the local play centre – the only regular user.
We have had a successful Christmas Carol service, an Alpha course which finished just before Easter.
We started our Community Church service on May 18th at 4pm.
If you are keen to come bring a plate for supper after ( usually at 5pm.) All welcome – St Margaret’s is for everyone.
If you need any more information contact gradon@otakianglican.nz
An outline of the service we envisage to be one hour in length:
Contemporary worship – approximately 20 minutes.
Teaching ( we are starting exploring the themes of Guidance/ Healing/ The Church/ Sharing our hope – using the final part of the Alpha Course on the big screen) 25 minutes
Our response – ranging from praying for each other, praying for our our world around us – what ever seems right after listening to the sermon.
Light refreshments after over a cuppa( bring and share )
