Memorial Service - for those grieving a loved one
If you have had a loved one or close friend pass on in the past year and you are still grieving or have missed farewelling them due to Covid restrictions – then whether or not you are a church person come and join with others at St Hilda's Anglican Church Island Bay Memorial Service at 3 pm on Sunday 14 November.
The service will include songs, readings, prayers and times for silence and reflection. Bring an item that belonged to the person you are remembering - a photograph or personal item that means something to you. After the service (if you want to) you will be able to share with others about your loved one and what they mean to you. Refreshments will be provided.
If you would like to attend please let us know you are coming by emailing officeislandbayanglican@gmail.com or by private messaging or texting or calling Jonathan on 027 288 8799
FREE 10-liter emergency water bottles
Merry Christmas -
I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.
Best wishes - Michael
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
