Ministries
St
Andrew's Fellowship
The St
Andrews Fellowship has been meeting regularly each month
at St Andrews Church in Redcliffs since 1965. Its aims
are to foster a spirit of fellowship, to increase
knowledge of the faith through Bible study, and to serve
the church and community.
Meetings
are held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 12 noon and
there is usually a speaker. The group is open to both
men and women and new members are always welcome.
For more
information contact Kath Duckmanton (Ph 384-6115) or
Lorna Hampton (384-1333).
Cameo
Singers
Cameo Singers is a small
group of local people who love singing. Under the
leadership of Pat Barrett they perform regular concerts.
Rehearsals are held at Pat's home on Friday afternoons
from 2:00pm to 3:00pm. Pat can be contacted at
326-5071.
The
Wave
We have recently started our own radio
station broadcasting to the Sumner area on 88.5 FM.
In keeping with our seaside location, we have called it
The Wave.
Tune in for some great music and inspirational programs.
There is also an opportunity to be involved in operating
the station and making local programs. Please
contact Barrie Woods if you are interested (Ph
376-4404).
Seek
Freedom
Seek Freedom is a
charitable trust with a vision to inspire and encourage
people to seek God through a relationship with Jesus by
distributing Bibles to back country and mountain huts.
A map in the All Saints
lounge shows the locations where Bibles have already
been placed and huts still to be visited. People can
assist this mission through prayer support or keen
trampers can help by delivering Bibles to the huts.
Seek Freedom is
coordinated by Ria Wayne (Ph 384-2838 or e-mail
info@seekfreedom.org.nz)

Prayer
Ministry
Most of
our regular groups include prayer as part of their
activities. Prayer is also an important part of all
services. A prayer
breakfast
is held once each term in the All Saints Parish Lounge. This is open
for anybody to attend.
Inner
Healing
We have an Inner Healing
ministry based on the teaching and methods of
Ellel
Ministries International. Our trained team
includes Bev & John Pater, Jillian Larsen, and Kay &
Paul Heard. The initial contact person is Bev
Pater (Ph 384-4394).
You can download a
message by Jill Southern of Ellel Ministries
recorded at All Saints Church at the time of the 2008
Ellel conference.
Pastoral Care
Life has
its ups and downs; good times and bad times, sickness
and health. Sometimes we may feel alone, unable to
cope, or to think clearly. Being able to share the
burden with somebody else is often a big help.
At Sumner-Redcliffs we
have a trained and competent group of people we call our
Pastoral Care Team. If you or somebody you know needs
pastoral support, these people are there.
For general pastoral care
needs please contact Denise McGill Ph 384-0105. For
crisis situations please contact any of the clergy at
any time.
Baptisms, Dedications, Weddings and Funerals
Whether we
are celebrating new life,
new life in Christ, new
lives together, or lives well lived, these are all
regular happenings in our parish.
For
more information about baptisms, dedications, weddings
or funerals contact
Rev Paul
Heard (Ph 376-6251)
