All Souls Service - A Time to Grieve
This Sunday, November 6, The Anglican Parish of Gate Pa (St George's) is observing All Saints/All Souls and will be again offering a service of remembrance for all those who grieve this year.
All who have lost loved ones and friends over the last couple of years, and all who grieve for whatever reason are welcome join us at 10am.
For many 2021 and 2022 have been hard years. Life as we knew it has changed. Some for the better. Some for the worse. While there is much to feel relief at when we look back, there is still a lot to grieve. This is especially true for those who have had friends or loved ones die. And for too many we have been unable to attend funerals and say goodbye. This has been a hard time.
With Covid, climate change, the war in Ukraine, and the effect of all these on the global economy over the last couple of years, many are feeling more anxious and uncertain. We are grieving for what has been lost. And too often our usual ways of working through a bereavement have been upended. We are offering this opportunity to pause and take time to acknowledge our grief, to remember those who have died, and to acknowledge what their lives have meant to us and the impact of their loss on those who remain.
This service is open to everyone.
People are welcome to bring a photo of those they wish to remember.
Please join us for refreshments after the service
Masks are now voluntary.
Dates and times:
When: Sunday November 6 at 10am
Where: St George’s Anglican Church, Corner of Cameron Road and Church St

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
