Join us tomorrow 8:30 + 10:15 am as we explore the practise of being honest with God, ourselves and each other.

Join us as we explore the practise of confession and honestly bring our whole lives before God.

Together we pray this prayer from the Practicing the Way Crew:

”Loving God, we open ourselves to you
and confess all that we have and have not done,
both consciously and unconsciously,
in opposition to your goodness.
Help us to live more openly with you,
that in our being seen in all,
we may also be healed in all,
growing in your love.
Amen."

It is with great sadness that we let you know that John Russell Sissons passed away on Monday morning. In grieving John’s death, we also welcome the opportunity to celebrate his wonderful life.

John was a dedicated member of St John's for over 50 years before retiring to Waikanae in 2024. We remember him deeply for his faithful service to our community—a lifetime of dedication that was beautifully recognised in 2020 when he was presented with a Bishop's Medal for his 50 years of service. Below are some photos sourced from the Church photo albums that hopefully capture some of his time at St John's.

While we would need an entire book to capture everything John gave his time to over the years, we fondly remember his involvement in the Parish Fairs, the "Spud in the Bag" competition, various fundraising efforts, and his leadership within our small groups, the Vestry, and the Men’s group and dinners. He was also a founding volunteer and leader for Mainly Music until 2024, a liturgical assistant, a devoted prayer group member, and so much more.

His funeral will take place this Friday 3rd July; please refer to the Church email sent out earlier this week for full details.

Please hold his wife, Margaret, and their family in your prayers during this time of loss.

🚨 👀 Keep up to date as Cyclone 🌀 comes through 🤩

Let’s join in praying for the safety of our nation 🙏

Updated 11/04/26 1:38pm
Good afternoon everyone,

It’s a beautiful day across the region for us, but we are feeling for our neighbours to the north as Cyclone Vaianu makes itself known.

- The cyclone is now tracking further east than expected, which lessens the chance of impacts to our region. See the link below for more details: https://www.metservice.com/warnings/tropical-cyclone-activity

Continue to expect strong winds, heavy rain and swells from Sunday mid-morning/afternoon to Monday morning, especially along the east coast and eastern hills of the Wairarapa.

Rivers and streams in Kāpiti, Hutt and Wairarapa may also be affected by the heavy rain warning for the Tararua range.

- We are monitoring any impacts for Greater Wellington closely with councils and partner agencies and will be sharing posts if relevant. The pinned post at the top of our page will have the latest watches and warnings.

- At this stage, we aren’t expecting to see the severe impacts regions to the north of us will, but councils and WREMO have extra people on duty over the weekend just in case and we are working together to keep a close eye on things.

Things can change quickly, keep an eye on MetService for the most up-to-date information. https://www.metservice.com/warnings/home

Preparing for severe weather:
👉Secure any outdoor items like wheelie bins, trampolines, and outdoor furniture that could blow around.
👉With the kids on holiday, check they haven't left things lying around outside
👉Clear leaves out of gutters and away from drains - this will help reduce potential flooding if there's rain
👉Check on any family, friends, or neighbours who might need a hand securing items

Take care out there,
- WREMO Duty Team
