Kia Ora koutou katoa,Ā
Please see below the message from our Moderator about the Matariki SeasonšĀ
“Matariki approaches and I hope you are inspired to find ways to celebrate. Although Matariki is still a young public holiday for our country, many now mark this time with the sharing of stories and food, karakia/prayer and waiata/song, and by remembering those who have died and reflecting on hopes for the future.
After consulting with Te Aka Puahou, I have invited the Rev Brendon McRae, minister of Flagstaff Community Church, Åtepoti, Dunedin, to share a Matariki message with our Church.
Brendon recently completed a Master’s degree reflecting biblically on Matariki, and he and Flagstaff Church feature in the recent Shine TV documentary, āGod within Matarikiā which you can view hereĀ https://www.shinetv.co.nz/videos/god-within-matariki
