      • Pirate Scavenger Hunt – Clue 8 Beyond the stone walls where knowledge lies, And past the tower that touches the skies, Head ’round the corner, where the path is keen, To find the spot with a peaceful scene. Look around where nature’s found, Your final clue is waiting there, safe and sound! Did you know that we are now in the season of Advent? This is a the time of year when we are watching and waiting for Christmas. See if you can collect the characters of the nativity story while you are on your Pirate scavenger hunt. This scavenger hunt has been put together for you to enjoy over this Advent season. Baby Jesus Jesus is the most special baby ever! He was born in a barn because there wasn’t any room at the inn. He’s a tiny baby, but he’s really important because he’s God’s son. Everyone loves him! The post first appeared on Anglican Parish of Lower Hutt.

      • Pirate Scavenger Hunt – Clue 4 Ye’ve sailed past birds, now back to land, Where children play with toys in hand. Around the playground, your search must roam, For a ship’s wheel to guide you home. Spin it once, or maybe twice, And the next clue will be your prize! Did you know that we are now in the season of Advent? This is a the time of year when we are watching and waiting for Christmas. See if you can collect the characters of the nativity story while you are on your Pirate scavenger hunt. This scavenger hunt has been put together for you to enjoy over this Advent season. Mary Mary is Jesus’ mummy. She’s really kind, and she loves baby Jesus a lot. She wears a special blue robe, and she’s very calm, like when she talks to the angel. She knew Jesus was going to be really important! The post first appeared on Anglican Parish of Lower Hutt.

    • Holy Week and Easter Programme
      • Come and journey with us to the Cross and the Resurrection. Holy Week and Easter programme We are entering the most dramatic time of the year for Christians… on Sunday 28th March we celebrate Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem as the crowd waved palms and cheered him on with excitement. But soon their cheers turned to jeers, and in less than a week Jesus was hanging on the Romans’ infamous instrument of torture… the Cross. The tradition of keeping the six weeks of Lent helps prepare us for the coming drama, and gets us in the mood and the frame of mind to enter into the drama ourselves. But sometimes the busy-ness and ordinariness of life takes us out of it again. It’s hard to stay focused on the story… to keep mindful of the journey towards Jerusalem and the Cross, when we are busy travelling to and from work, and when home, community activities and family issues are demanding our attention. We can’t do it on our own… we need the support of one another. And so we invite you to come and be part of our Holy Week and Easter Liturgies. Jesus, in his suffering and death committed himself fully to us. In the joy and wonder of resurrection God shows us that we are never abandoned. In grateful response, let us celebrate together this great gift of God’s life, so freely given for us and to us. We invite you to mark the dates and times on your calendar; come and be with us in the struggle and sorrow of the power of the Holy Week liturgies; journey with Jesus to the Cross on Good Friday; and live again the joy and astonishment of new life in the Resurrection in our Easter Day celebrations.May you know the depth and power of God’s love this Easter season.
