25/2/2019

0 Comments

 
In ten days, on the 6th March, Porirua Anglicans will convene two groups to study about "Christian Grace". Study booklets have arrived and are available for a suggested koha of $5 each. Entitled, "A pilgrimage of grace", this study will run for six Wednesdays through to 10th April. There will be two groups meeting at St Anne's: 10am and 7:30pm. Those wanting to join either of these groups should contact Rev Terry Alve 027 944 4996 or 232 2583 (text or call) and advise which group they will join.

​More information is available in the flyer below.

Baptism with Porirua Anglican

14/1/2019

Yesterday the liturgical theme at St Anne's was "The Baptism of the Lord." We thought about what Jesus' baptism in the River Jordan by John the Baptist means. While Jesus' baptism was not a baptism of repentance as ours is - we believe that Jesus had nothing to repent of - it was an action identifying with his and our humanity and it was a public declaration by God that He was the Messianic Son of God who is to be heeded. Jesus' baptism is similar to ours in that the Holy Spirit came upon Him; something we expect to happen when we are baptised and/or confirmed. We won't go into the connection here between baptism and confirmation as understood by Anglicans, other than to say that the Spirit is at work in both rites.

The important question I would like to pose today is, "Are you baptised and if not might it be the right time to consider being baptised?" We are preparing for a baptism service, possibly at the end of February. If you would like to join a group who are preparing for baptism please make contact. This group will meet over four weekly sessions during January and February beginning the week of 21 January. Participation in the group will invite you to explore the meaning of baptism. You may decide to proceed to baptism (possibly on 24th February), you may choose to wait longer or, you may decide baptism is not for you. Whatever your decision it will be respected.

So, if you are an adult or a teenager who would like to explore baptism for yourself; or if you are the parent or guardian of a child for whom you would like to consider baptism, this group is for you. I'd love to chat with you about  joining with us.

Lent Studies 2019 - A Pilgrimage of Grace

22/11/2018

0 Comments

 
We are NOT talking about the Porirua Anglican family, 'Grace', but high quality Lenten Studies on key Christian themes that have been offered in the Wellington Anglican Diocese in recent years. ​This year's series, "A Pilgrimage of Grace" promises to be up there in quality and content.

What is (Christian) grace? Elegance? Good will? Honour? Study scriptures about grace together. Share your experiences of grace received and given and how they have made a difference. Do you agree that if we do not offer grace, then we become a prisoner?

Buy your copy of this Lenten study series from the diocesan office or get one from Porirua Anglican.
​
Two Wednesday Study groups are planned in St Anne's:
  • 10:00am - begins with morning tea
  • 7:30pm - supper to follow
Both commence on Wednesday 6th March 2019 and Studies run for six weekly sessions.
​Use our contact form to register.
