CAREY WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 2025 S1 WEEK 7

A little study, a little reading…

We're through the first of our Study and Reading weeks, which continue for another two weeks. As a reminder, normal on-site courses will not take place during this time.

Also, weekly karakia and community lunches will not take place until week 10, beginning Monday, 6 May. Library hours will remain the same.

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

Rhema Media recently partnered with Auckland Church Network to produce a series, The Daily 2025, on the seven sayings of Jesus on the cross.

As an encouragement on Good Friday, our very own lecturer, Christa McKirland, and current student, Kevin Park, shared on Jesus’ words, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

Take a listen to Christa’s reflections, and you can check out Kevin Park’s word as well.

You can listen to all forty of the videos on the sayings of Jesus on the Auckland Church Network facebook page.

Study and Reading Weeks are Here!

This week brings us to the Study and Reading weeks, which means no lectures for most of you—the Gospel and Discipleship block course will be on-site at Carey from 30 April to 2 May. You'll likely be working hard on assessments and maybe even getting ahead on ones to come! Also, be sure to check your course on CareyOnline for any guided learning happening.

But we hope you can also take time to let the content you are learning about from your lectures take root and transform you. As you work, we pray you grow closer to Jesus and use this time to breathe a bit.

Graduation—sign up to help!

Graduation is one of the most significant events on the Carey calendar. It’s made that way largely because we have current students helping make the day great for our graduates. And we need your help this year for the following:

• Ushering: Four people needed
• Serving team: Six people needed
• Parking wardens: Two people needed

We need your help from 1pm Saturday, 24 May 2025 at Manuaku City Baptist Church. Graduation is at 2pm, but we need helpers to turn up a bit early.

No karakia or community lunch

Over the next three weeks, there will be no karakia or community lunch. See you in week 10!

Celebrating 100 Years

We have a lot to be excited about as we celebrate our rich, century-long heritage and look forward to our next chapter. This special event will also mark the formal opening and dedication of our new campus.

You’re invited to be part of our Carey Centenary, which will run over two days from Friday, 20 March to Saturday, 21 March 2026. Please save these dates, and we will provide you with more details closer to the time.

Please take a moment to share your thoughts, and we will use them to help shape the day—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
