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.
I sense we need to change and become a community church ( rather than just Anglican), so I would like to do a sound out to those who might be interested, and who live in Te Horo to consider making St Margarets your church.
We have had a Christmas Carols celebration attracting over 80 people, an Alpha course with 12 attending finishing just before Easter, and then we hope to start a church service.
In a perfect world, the dream is to continue as a family-focused worship service for the whole community.
Let Gradon our minister know if you are interested in being apart of the new community congregation. gradon@otakianglican.nz
