Memorial Service - for those grieving a loved one
If you have had a loved one or close friend pass on in the past year and you are still grieving or have missed farewelling them due to Covid restrictions – then whether or not you are a church person come and join with others at St Hilda's Anglican Church Island Bay Memorial Service at 3 pm on Sunday 14 November.
The service will include songs, readings, prayers and times for silence and reflection. Bring an item that belonged to the person you are remembering - a photograph or personal item that means something to you. After the service (if you want to) you will be able to share with others about your loved one and what they mean to you. Refreshments will be provided.
If you would like to attend please let us know you are coming by emailing officeislandbayanglican@gmail.com or by private messaging or texting or calling Jonathan on 027 288 8799

Combining biking with bus travel
Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
