Kia ora e te whānau
Thanks to the hard work of the Parish Council and the Health and Safety Committee, not to mention our government’s management of the pandemic here in New Zealand, we can meet in the church again this Sunday!
Please remember to bring a pen to sign in to our attendance record which is risk-management in case there is a need for contact tracing. It’s going to be wonderful to see old friends after 9 weeks but please remember to keep your distance of at least one metre from each other. I find it helpful to think of these restrictions of acts of love to protect each other.
I read this reflection from a US site during the week and thought some of you might enjoy it:

I look forward to seeing those of you who can come to St Andrews on Sunday.
I’ll leave you with these words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer:
In ordinary life we hardly realise that
We receive a great deal more than we give.
And that it is only with gratitude
That life becomes rich.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1906-1945
Arohanui,
