SCRIPTURE VERSE
PRAYER
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9
Generous God, You give us life and breath, you fill the world with good things, and you have given us your Son to be our Saviour. By your grace, fill us with your Holy Spirit, that we may give back to you with joyful hearts through Jesus Christ our Lord.

BURNSIDE ELDER CARE CENTRE
To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing. Martin Luther
This was the first meeting together since lockdown and while the use of Zoom meetings was certainly worthwhile, it was good to have face to face discussion again.
Chris in his Vicar’s report gave a summary of those attending services since going down to covid alert level 2, and also the numbers of those still participating through the on-line services. He plans to continue these as some members are yet to feel sufficiently comfortable to return, and there are quite a number of people who are not part of the parish who also watch the services. He has ordered a new microphone to try and improve the sound quality.
The financial report is particularly encouraging with donations and offertory being greater than budget for the first 5 months of the financial year. Given that the budget had included a deficit result for year end, this increase was much-needed and we thanked God for His goodness through the faithfulness of parishioners.
Building and Grounds committee reported that the roof replacement at St Tim’s will commence as soon as weather allows, and the new exterior door into the meeting room at St Tim’s will be installed tomorrow (24th June). There are a number of planning needs coming up, including exterior painting of the vicarage.
The St James Church and Trust Funds Committee had proposed a motion that combined services be held on special occasions and this was agreed. It was noted that it is important to share services with Re-kindle also.
Approval was given for a new gate and fence at St James between the car park and hall. The replacement gate on Whitchurch Place has been installed and matches the old one well – thanks to the Bishopdale Menzshed.
The Missions Committee meets bi-monthly so there was no report from them.
There was some discussion about the potential implications of the ‘dark sky’ motion which is being brought before the AGM on 28th June.
This was the final meeting prior to the election of new members at the upcoming AGM. Those retiring from vestry include Jen Orange, Jenny and Richard Hargreaves, Chris Sundstrum and Ray McTeigue. Their contribution has been much appreciated.

From August to November this year, at St Tim’s, we plan to run a Families Together Sunday Service, 10.15am on the 2nd Sunday of the month. These will be an all-age service catering for young and old. The children will be involved in the service, so they won’t have their usual children’s programme. Barbara and her team will organise these services and it will be a great opportunity to invite your families, friends and neighbours to attend. The service will be followed by finger food refreshments, so please remember to bring a plate of goodies to share.
On our first Families Together Sunday will be on August 8th. We have invited a Disney Princess to join us, so dress your children as a Disney character. Don't forget to bring a plate of finger food to share.
SPRING RETREAT ON STEWART ISLAND
Monday 14th - Friday 18th September
Studying theology is a great way to explore and deepen your faith.
Stewart Island has many features that make it a great place for a contemplative retreat - memorials and monuments, bush, beaches and birdsong. In fact the Island becomes the vessel that holds the retreat. Following the cancellation of the Easter season retreat, I am offering a September one instead. We gather at lunchtime Monday and finish after lunch on Friday. Prayer exercises will be interwoven with the physical features of the environment, so a moderate level of fitness is helpful as there are hills to walk up and down. Ask if concerned. Numbers are limited.
For information please contact: Rev. Glenda Hicks at [email protected]; ph 0277114166
