    • St John's in the City
    • Kia ora St John’s whānau, This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent! <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > Young people will start in the service at 10:00am for 15-20 minutes of worship all together, before peer group time.   Our Guest Preacher on Sunday is Dr Andrew Shepherd, Lecturer in Theology and Public Issues for Otago University – based in Wellington.   We know that while we remain under Alert Level 2 the maximum numbers for gatherings is 100.  So, as well as worshipping at St John’s in the City this Sunday, we also offer a live stream option. Here are the details for joining in worship via Zoom…   Zoom Meeting ID: 370 260 759 Passcode: worship   The link to join the Zoom worship service is below.  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/370260759?pwd=b2ZkajZ5d28rTy9EN1VKZDJUM3N4dz09 ’> If using your phone: dial 04 886 0026 (Meeting ID: 370 260 759#, Passcode: 1560107#) This is the link to the printable Service Sheet <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/azzu73pgyehkju2/OOS%2028%20Nov%202021.docx?dl=0" class="sqs-block-button-element--medium sqs-button-element--primary sqs-block-button-element" > Printable Service Sheet This Sunday after the service, you are invited to stay for tea and coffee and the Congregational Forum on the new Covid Traffic Light system: The new Traffic Light Protection Framework is coming into effect this week. While the media has highlighted the conflict around this, the St John’s Session are wanting to find a way to manage this that bears witness to our faith. Before Session makes necessary decisions, there is the opportunity for anyone to join a discussion to better understand the relevant issues for us as a Church. Please come ready to share and listen together, so we can recognise the range of perspectives and maintain unity.  (Ephesians 4:3) <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " >  OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ADVENT FAITH EXPERIENCES <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > Mary and Joseph walked 145k from Nazareth to Bethlehem, before Mary gave birth to Jesus. This advent many people in our congregation are going to either walk or run 145 km's, and you are very welcome to join the challenge. It may surprise you to know that walking is considered an ancient spiritual practice for many people, in fact walking is mentioned 247 times in the bible. In proverbs 14:15 it tells us that “the prudent give thought to their steps” We have created a booklet in which people can record their daily km traveled. If you would like a copy please let us know, and we will get one to you. <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > Another way to prepare your heart for the birth of Christ this Advent, is to listen to our podcast via Spotify, Apple Music or from our Podcast Website. 22 members of our congregation, of all ages, have recorded these daily devotions, so listen each day to hear very familiar voices.  Each devotion is focused on a different scripture, and includes a reflection and prayer. The devotions have been written by Advent Conspiracy.  WE ARE LOOKING FOR A CHILDREN & FAMILIES MINISTRY WORKER We are passionate about ministry with young people, and seeking passionate leadership for coordinating this in our midst. Our VISION STATEMENT for ministry with young people is “Enjoying faith formation with young people in an intergenerational community, equipping them for a lifetime of discipleship and encouraging them to worship, grow, live, and share as children of God.”This part-time permanent position is for 18.75 hours per week with flexibility when the hours are worked. This role includes our gathered time as a Church community on Sunday mornings. Those interested in up to full-time equivalent work may also consider a harmonious position working with young people in a part-time Assistant Chaplain role currently advertised by Scots College. https://www.scotscollege.school.nz/scots-college-assistant-chaplain/ Perhaps you know someone you could you pass this information on to…? For the position description or any questions Please contact: enquiries@stjohnsinthecity.org.nz    Phone: 04 385 1546Closing date for applications is Friday 3rd December 2021 <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " >  FELLOWSHIP GROUP This year the Fellowship Group Advent Meeting actually falls into Advent – on Tuesday 30 November 2021.  Starting in the Church at 11am for worship, moving to the St John’s Centre afterwards for a finger food lunch (which is provided), complete with ice cream and strawberries!  Please bring a koha for Christian World Service.  CHRISTMAS STAR BOXES At St John’s we have empty Christmas Star Boxes from Wellington City Mission – for us to fill them with gifts! Filling these boxes is a way to spread love as we celebrate Christmas, and will make a joyous difference for people in need.  Gifts are to be unwrapped, and here are some ideas: Vouchers (e.g. Movies/Zoo/Pool/Supermarket), construction toys (e.g. Lego/Meccano/Blocks) books, puzzles & board games, sports gear.  The last Sunday before the Christmas Star Boxes are collected is 5th December – so we have just a few weeks to make our donations! <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " >  MENTORING PROGRAMME We give thanks to God for the first-ever 12 month Mentoring Programme which recently concluded. Next year, we are running our second St John's Mentoring Programme. As part of our St John's inter-generational faith formation, this Mentoring Programme expresses our Mission Statement very well.

The pair finished first and second in the Junior Girls’ National Secondary Schools’ Cross Country Championships at the A&P Showgrounds in Hawera. Sutherland hadn’t beaten McHardy this year, but saved her best for the big stage. “Amy got in front before me. I was running and I was like ‘come on Amy, let’s go, we’re nearly there.’ I think I got a bit of adrenaline or something. I wasn’t expecting to win” Sutherland admitted. McHardy had led all the way. “We both like to take the start and it was a really fast start. We got to the front after about 600 meters. When there was 30-meters to go Ava said ‘well done’ and got past me. We work together, train together and bring out the best in each other. We managed to win the three-person and six-person team races as well which was awesome,” McHardy said. The final time for Sutherland was 11.25.50 with McHardy on 11.27.80. Gabrielle Healy (6th) and Kate McHardy (9th) ensured a Wellington Girls’ sweep of junior honours. A flat start was followed by a downhill section that narrowed out and a short, treacherous, hill climb due to the thick mud and driving rain. “It was really wet and muddy but that made it fun, a real cross country race, a real cool experience,” McHardy enthused. Louise Brabyn (Whanganui Collegiate) was seven seconds adrift in third place. “My favourite training course has eight river crossings and is really fun in the rain. I liked the course,” Sutherland concurred. Both girls are aligned with the Olympic Harriers club. They train and compete in a mixed environment on Tuesday and Thursday nights at Nairnville Park as well as racing most weekends. McHardy beat Sutherland for the Wellington Regional title, but both rely upon coach John Cope for their success. “He makes sure we enjoy it, but when it gets close to competition he challenges us and makes sure we’re putting in the grind,” McHardy said. McHardy first met Cope when she made the Wellington Interregional team while at intermediate. She was fifth in the 2019 Nationals in Timaru and has been the top junior runner in the capital. Sutherland’s parents are eager runners and their daughter got serious about it in 2018. “I had a long-time rival who kept beating me at intermediate. When I beat her the first time I continued to put a lot more effort into it, Sutherland revealed. The next big race on the calendar is the National Secondary Schools’ Road Race in Akaroa, Christchurch in October.
