CAREY WEEKLY 2022 SEMESTER 1 WEEK 11

Uncertainty

Is “uncertainty” a word that describes part of your experience these days? I find the disruption of these last two years has introduced the unpredictable in ways that can be unsettling and “uncertain."

In times like this, I find the image of "journey" in the Christian life to be helpful.

Journeys involve movement, twists and turns, interruptions and delays, and, if you’re like me, you might even get lost from time to time.

God called Abram onto a journey with the words, “leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you." No specific address, timeline, day planner, or anything…just go on a journey.

What did Abram know for sure?

  • I will bless you
  • You will be a blessing
Leaving our comfort and journeying with God can be filled with uncertainty. I am praying for all of us who feel unsettled and uncertain today. May the Lord who loves taking us on a journey, remind us of what we can know for sure and allow us a trusting rest in the promises he has made.

Community Lunch

A reminder that lunches are back on for Mondays and Tuesdays, and we are loving how Julie is spoiling us! Come along for great food and time to connect, and don't forget to fill in all the empty spots to help serve and tidy up. The sign-up sheet is on the wall in the whare kai. 

Weekly Karakia Tuesday, 11.15am

We are getting into a rhythm with the new karakia format that merges our distance and on-site students as we worship together. This week, we will be welcoming Open Day attendees to karakia, so be sure to welcome new faces you see. 

If you plan to join our Zoom call, please note there is a new link for the duration of the semester: Meeting ID: 989 8833 3139. Join via Zoom.

See you Tuesday!

Open Day This Tuesday, 24 May

Got a friend who would love Carey? Or a family member? Do you know someone at your church who would thrive here? Invite them along to our Open Day this week.

If you bring along a friend, make sure they register online and include your name when asked how they heard about Open Day. Who knows? Maybe you will win the prize draw for those who bring along a friend.
