From 5pm Friday 9th July

Across Greater Sydney including the Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Wollongong and Shellharbour

Please check NSW Health for the state of NSW

Greater Sydney, the Blue mountains, the Central Coast and Wollongong will only be able to leave home for essential purposes. Those reasons: to shop for essential items, to seek medical care, or for caregiving or compassionate reasons. Exercise outdoors in groups of 10 or fewer, essential work, or education, where you cannot work or study from home. Anyone in NSW who has been to Greater Sydney since June 21 is also being asked to stay home for the lockdown period. Stay safe whanau.

Due to the Covid-19 restrictions in metropolitan Sydney, Karakia will be cancelled this Sunday the 27th of June. Stay safe Whanau. Please share with your networks. God Bless

The sermons over the last few weeks have been challenging as we journey together. We are thankful to all our teams that make our Whare Karakia beautiful, warm and inviting to all that journey with us.

Pleased that we no longer have to wear masks at Karakia

Celebrations:

Terry and his whanau being Baptised

Ascension Sunday

Farewell for Matua Harry Kopa who is returning to live in New Zealand

Congratulations to the Very Reverend Kanishka Raffel who has been elected as Archbishop of Sydney.

Today being Anzac Day we remember those that fought for our freedom. We also acknowledge those still serving and through their sacrifice we are able to welcome Nikau, Whaikaha, Savannah, Gypsy, Hiria, Skylar, Makyra and their Whanau and Monique, Donel and their Whanau to their Baptisms today. We will remember them.
