CAREY WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 2023 S2 WEEK 9
|
 |
|
We’ve Missed You!
|
Our lecture rooms have been missing you for the last three weeks, our COWs (Computers on wheels) have been quieter than usual without our regional students joining in classes on Zoom, and our CareyLocal cohorts must also be itching to get back to learning together. Next week, we will be back to our normal semester schedule, with all-things-Carey being abuzz once again with the usual sounds of joyous learning.
Lectures, community lunches, and weekly karakia are all back from Monday, 18 September. How exciting is that!?!
An shift to our newsletter
In the next couple weeks, we are going to be using a different platform (Mailchimp) to deliver our weekly newsletter to you. You’ll still get this content delivered straight to your email inbox, and we will continue posting newsletters to CareyOnline. However, you may notice a slight change. But don’t fret—nothing is amiss.

Chinese Language Week
|
New Zealand Chinese Language Week is next week, and Carey is celebrating the occasion in style. There will be dumplings and Chinese tea for lunch on Monday, and we will be teaching basic greetings in Chinese throughout the week.
Come along, and practice how to say, 请给我一份饺子 (Qǐng gěi wǒ yī fèn jiǎozi), or “Please give me a serving of dumplings!”

Join us from Wednesday, 17 to Friday, 19 July 2024 for a three-day conference where we will explore how the Psalms can inspire Christian worship and shape God’s people here in Aotearoa. It’s a bit far off, but this is a conference you WILL NOT want to miss, so set those dates off in your diaries.
The event will include academic lectures, communal worship, along with workshops for songwriters, pastors, and Christian leaders. It's going to be great!
