This quilt tells a story.
Nothing fancy and not perfect at all.
It was made during lockdown using remnants that I could find at home. It is an excellent reminder of the time that I have to move out of my comfort zone. It was a season of learning new things. It was sewed in small blocks, then put together block by block. The process was long, but the result was satisfying. I encountered many obstacles, such as issues with the sewing machine and a period of waiting before I could get the backing material in order to complete the project. The learning was beautiful.
It is my prayer that you begin this semester with a desire to learn, and despite the obstacles, you will be transformed, and the learning journey will be naturally beautiful.

WE'RE BACK ON CAMPUS (AND ON ZOOM!)
CHAPEL WORSHIP
Chapel begins on-site this Tuesday at 11.15am with Phil Halstead speaking on 1 Timothy 2:1-8.
Phil has been on sabbatical this past semester so it will be great to have him back on campus and amongst us again!
COMMUNITY LUNCHES

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM NEROLI
It’s Week 1 of Carey – welcome all students (onsite or distance you are one and the same at Carey ?).
Make sure you are aware that each Odd Week (beginning Monday 20th July) and Each Even Week (Beginning Monday 27th July) has a slightly different timetable (to accommodate ZOOM sessions). ?
Please remember to check the timetable so that you know what times your classes are on and when your ZOOM meetings are (each course typically has a one hour ZOOM session each fortnight) eg Mission of God has on Monday 20th July a ZOOM session at 1:30pm – 2:30pm (you ZOOM in from wherever you are) and then onsite class is 6:30pm – 8:30pm. Distance students please try to make the ZOOM sessions if possible (but these are also recorded).
If you need to change our enrolment please do the Change of Enrolment form and get it to me (Neroli the Academic Registrar – registrar@carey.ac.nz) – this form is also required if you are changing levels.
If you are starting in Semester Two you will notice First Steps on your Careyonline courses – this is a required course to introduce you to all things Carey and Academic ??
