Karori Baptist
Pastor Mike Enright
The men enjoyed a breakfast in October where the chaplain from Rimutaka Prison gave a reflection on Jesus’ presence with those on the margin in Wellington. They also had a retreat in November on a farm in the Wairarapa. We enjoyed contributing to the Birthright Christmas Present Appeal in November. We celebrated Karori Baptist’s mainly music 10 year anniversary at the end of November with a family service that incorporated Jo Wilson’s baptism. In December we had our Christmas Celebration service followed by a shared lunch. We also had a community high tea during the week, which people available during the day enjoyed.

It has been good to see the rewards for badgework in Girls’ Brigade. Good progress has been made on our new fellowship building which we look forward to opening. Cat Gooding graduated in Christian Ministry from Pathways Bible College and will do her second year of internship. Fundraising is underway for our young people to go to Cambodia for a missions trip.
