St Thomas parish fair 11 October

Noel Cox from St Thomas Anglican Church, Tamaki

Hi everyone

COMMUNITY HELP REQUIRED


St Thomas Church is planning a fundraising gala, fair with the purpose of raising funds for the heritage stained glass windows which are in dire need of repair, and our pipe organ.

St Thomas’s has been part of our community since 1843, it was the first stone Anglican Church to be built accompanied by a graveyard which Pākehā, Pasifika, Māori were laid to rest.

The stained glass windows are an example of magnificent craftsmanship and part of our heritage, they deserve to be restored so future generations can enjoy. The organ is a special instrument, and enjoyed by many, but is in need of repairs.

So if you are having a

Setting your direction for 2026? Here’s a helpful tip

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours, If you find it’s hard to keep to New Year resolutions you are not alone! Its actually really hard to make sustainable changes in our lives.
Setting your ‘compass’ is easier and more effective. Starting with one small step in the desired destination, taking that first step gets you going. Even a little change of direction, something that only takes a couple of minutes, can lead to significant and sustainable change over time.

If you want to move in the direction of finding more peace and calm in your life, have you considered mindfulness?

You could try it out with our small group for a mindfulness session of ease and peace to soothe body and mind . The session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation. come and soothe body and mind
