Reflection: Barney Tupara Barrister at Law

Te Karakia Whakamoemiti (Affirmation / Thanksgiving) Joy Cowley

Nga tāne (men): Glorious are you, Mystery of Life, essence of all creation. You are the symphony of stars and planets. You are the music of the atoms within us. You are the dawn on mountain peaks, the moonlight on evening seas. Forest and farm, the rush of the city, everything is embraced in your love.

Tātau katoa (everybody): We rejoice as we sing our gratitude. Nga wāhine (women): Glorious are you, O Jesus Christ, Cosmic love in human flesh. You graced the smallness of time and place to teach us to dance to the music. You walk on our seas and heal in our streets. You make your home in our lives, revealing that cross and resurrection are one on the road to freedom.

Tātau katoa (everybody): We rejoice as we sing our gratitude. Tātau katoa: (everyone) Glorious are you, O Spirit of Truth, wisdom and breath of our being. You are the wind that sweeps our senses. You are the fire that burns in our hearts. You are the needle of the inner compass, always pointing to true North, guiding us on the sacred dance into the Mystery of Life. We rejoice as we sing our gratitude. Amen.

Hīmene: How Great Thou Art

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Chorus

Whakaaria mai Tōu rīpeka ki au Tiaho mai Rā roto i te pō Hei kona au Titiro atu ai. Ora, mate, Hei au koe noho ai When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze. Chorus And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. Chorus When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!" Chorus Koha (Offering)

Kawanga (Dedication - Offering prayer)

Community Time Inoi O Ngā Tangata (Prayers of the People) In kauri and oak, in bread and wine In worship and shared meals With kumara and puha or fish and chips or haggis and scotch We celebrate who we come from, who we are and who we are yet to be – Aroha mai, aroha atu Love towards us, love going out from us.

Wairua Tapu whispering in a small voice or shouting in water’s fall and siren’s wail Creative Spirit that dances across the water Soaring Spirit of mountain Wild Spirit of wilderness Speaking from burning bush, from tussock and hebe from desert road and city street We give thanks for our hikoi of faith For our dreams of righteousness and acts of justice. We give thanks for this place Takapuna where we can feel at home and be refreshed, and for all that it means to us as whenua, our place to stand and take a stand our turangawaewae. (Bronwyn White)

Hīmene: These Hills

1. These hills where the hawk flies lonely, beaches where the long surf rolls, mountains where the snow meet heaven, these are our care Pastures where the sheep graze calmly, orchards where the apples grow, gardens where the roses cluster, these are our prayer 2. Forests where the tree ferns tower, rivers running strong, and clear, oceans where the great whales wander, they are our care Race meeting race as equals, justice for age-old wrong, worth for every man and woman, these are our prayer 3. Cities where the young roam restless, lives brought to deep despair, homeless and powerless people, these are our care. Places where the Word is spoken, hands held in serving love, faiths of our many cultures, these are our prayer

4. All that the old world gave us, all that the new world brings, language, ideas and customs, these are our care. Life finding joy and value, faith seeking truth and light, God heard and seen in all things, this be our prayer Colin Gibson

Poroporoakī (Farewell) Farewell ceremony for the people who are leaving or departing from a place. …As the koru unfurls let your spirit expand into the God of Life. As the rata showers red seeds on every wind that blows, so is the Christ sown in our hearts. May the love of the Holy One Be a solid rock in your life, For Love surrounds us. Mānawatanga (Blessing) Kia hora te marino Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana Kia tere te kārohirohi I mua i tō huarahi. May peace be widespread May the sea glisten like greenstone May the shimmer of light guide you on your way. National Anthem

1. E Ihowa Atua 2. God of nations at thy feet O ngā iwi mātou rā, in the bonds of love we meet. āta whakarongo na; Hear our voices, we entreat, Me aroha noa. God defend our free land. Kia hua ko te pai; Guard Pacific’s triple star Kia tau tō atawhai; From the shafts of strife and war, Manaakitia mai Make her praises heard afar, Aotearoa. God defend New Zealand.

Thursday 7th July 2016 Now in its 7th year, The Lifewise Big Sleepout sets out to raise serious cash to tackle the serious issue of homelessness in Auckland. Many lives have been and will continue to be turned around as a result of this event.

It all started back in 2010 when 60 business, community and political leaders slept on cold concrete for one night. Together they raised over $100,000 to support the work of Lifewise’s Crisis Response and Housing team.

This year’s event will take place on Thursday 7 July. It will raise critical awareness of homelessness and how Housing First can end this growing problem.

All funds raised go directly to support Lifewise’s highly successful ‘no band aids’ approach to homelessness. To find out more about the Lifewise Big

Sleepout and to donate please visit bigsleepout.org.nz

In partnership with the Devonport Community Recycling Centre, Stephen McLuckie is going to coordinate a Repair café. A Repair Café is a pop up event where local people can bring broken and damaged items and get them repaired for free while learning how they can fix them again in the future. http://repaircafe.org/en/about/

It’s about saving money, bringing people together, learning new skills and reducing waste.

In order to succeed we’ll need skilled local volunteers to be the experts in a variety of fields. Can you mend clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, appliances, toys, etc? Email: [email protected] or call 022 390 7199 if you’re interested in being involved. Stephen is our TMC Community Development Worker.

Public Issues Methodist hosted ecumenical Climate Justice workshop for churches 20th August, Auckland. Science, theology, policy and politics will guide options for practical action in this ecumenical event. Measures for NZ children in poverty only minimally mitigate the long term adversity of poverty for children. See Public Issues Facebook page for a video of the last speech of Children’s Commissioner Dr Russell Wills.

Sunday 31st July @ 4pm Venue: TMC

Aarif Rasheed will speak on the situation in the Middle East, Islam and

interfaith dialogue. Public Defence Service lawyer Aarif Rasheed, has gained high-level support for a planned $3 million "Centre for Interfaith Dialogue and Education" in his father's memory, with a library, seminar rooms and space for youth activities and community events. His father said, His whole philosophy as a Muslim leader was to say, 'Here in this country are many religions and it behoves us to (a) be good citizens, and (b) lead our religious lives in such a way that we can be good neighbours and live in dialogue.' His son Aarif is carrying this on.
