Dear

Nga mihi nui ki a koutou
Sadly
we say farewell to our summer but let’s hope we

This week the juniors are looking forward to the Catholic
tabloids at St James and Voyagers are off to Access Radio
to record their show.
Enjoy
your week, Jacinta Cousins

"
Service "
Service
is giving to others and wanting to make a
difference in their lives.
Helping other people is one of the very best
ways to serve God.
Having an attitude of service means looking
for ways to be of help rather than waiting
to be asked.
The needs of others are as important to you
as your own. .
We practise
service
when we: look
for opportunities to be of service to others think
of thoughtful things to do for help our
family and friends don’t
wait to be asked when something needs doing do
our part to care for the earth: recycle,
reduce, re-use

I
am the Living Water.
Both of our readings focus on water as a sign
of salvation. As Jesus talks to the woman at the
well he says, "Anyone who drinks the water
from this well will be thirsty again. But anyone
who drinks the water I give, will never be thirsty
again. The water I give will be like a spring
flowing water inside of them. And this water will
give them eternal life. The gift of water is a
call to faith. Jesus' promise of
living water stirs initial faith, and he responds
in self-revelation in the scripture - "I
am the Messiah."
Loving Father, may you continue to show us the
way and cleanse our spirits with your love.
