Great to welcome Rev’d Bruce White from NZCMS yesterday as we confirmed our partnership with CMS to support Māori Evangelist ministry within Te Manawa o Te Wheke.

With the blessing of our Commissary Archbishop Don Tamihere, we look forward to continuing this shared kaupapa supporting the ministry of Rev’d Howard Clark serving our marae and communities in Te Pūaha o Waikato.

We are grateful for this partnership and the journey ahead.

Kawea te Rongopai!

Yesterday was Shrove Tuesday!

And just like that it's Ash Wednesday marking the start of another lenten season.

Beginning on Te Wenerei Pungarehu - Ash Wednesday and lasting for 40 days, Te Reneti is a season of fasting and penitence in preparation for Te Aranga - Easter. The Church year revolves around two “cycles,” one for Christmas and one for Easter. The Christmas cycle begins with a season of preparation: Advent. The Easter cycle begins with a season of preparation: Lent.

Because Lent lasts for forty days it recalls Christ’s fasting during his temptation/testing in the wilderness as explained in Matthew 4:1-11.

Keep an eye out right here for Whanau resources and ideas for Lent that you can do with your whanau to learn more about Te Reneti - Lent.

"E te Ariki, ranea iho āu manaakitanga ki ēnei purapura o te Takawai, āmine."

Our prayers are with our brothers and sisters of Te Upoko o Te Ika, Te Waipounamu and Te Tairāwhiti as they launch Te Takawai throughout Te Pihopatanga o Aotearoa.

We pray especially for the St John's College Manukura Rev'd Dr Hirini Kaa and the team who have worked diligently to bring this Kaupapa to our Amorangi.
