CHURCH NOTICES
FROM THE VICAR – THOUGHTS ON
DEDICATION Discipleship means dedication. It
demands everything - the whole heart, the whole mind,
and the whole life, including one's time, energy, and
property - for the cause of love. Half-hearted Christianity
is worse than no Christianity. Those who want to follow
Jesus must not only open their hearts to him and say
''Come into my heart and purify me''; they must also be
ready to say, ''I am willing to do anything you ask of me.''
Jesus says, ''Come, all who are heavy-burdened.'' If you
are willing to come to him - to let him into your heart -
then you must also be willing to let him rule you and to
give up your own will. The radicalism of Christ's way
must challenge us. He does not want to win numbers but
dedicated hearts. And he does not promise security,
either economic or otherwise. He seeks those who want
to give themselves unreservedly to God and to their
brothers and sisters, without seeking anything for
themselves. A decision to follow Jesus cannot be a
decision to follow him for one or two years; it must be for
always. Jesus said, ''No one who puts his hand to the
plough and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of
God.'' But if we remain faithful to him, he will wash us
clean and give us unity with God and with one another,
and he will grant us eternal life. It is important to be
straightforward and honest about your true feelings.
Rather be too rude than too smooth, too blunt than too
kind. Rather say an unkind word that IS TRUE than one
that is ''nice'' but untrue. You can always be sorry for an
unkind word, but hypocrisy causes permanent harm
unless special grace is given. Discipleship demands
that we drop everything, including everything we count
as positive in ourselves. Paul was willing to lay aside the
Jewish law, and we must likewise give up our good self
image, our righteousness and our kindness and count it
all as nothing for the sake of Jesus Christ. We have to
give ourselves wholeheartedly to God, and if we fail, we
must give ourselves again. We need daily forgiveness for
our sins and failures. But what matters is whether we
want to be faithful - faithful to the end of our lives. This
means surrendering everything - our self will, our hopes
for personal happiness, our private property, even our
weakness - and believing in God and in Christ. That is all
that is asked of anyone. Jesus does not expect
perfection, but he wants us to give ourselves
wholeheartedly. What a mighty thing it is to live for
God's kingdom! . Do not shrink back . Live for it; look for
it, and you will find that it is so powerful it will completely
overwhelm you - it will solve every problem on earth.
Everything will be new, and each person will love the
other in CHRIST. All separation brought about by death
will be overcome, and love alone will rule . Dietrich
Bonhoeffer said ''In the confession of concrete sins the
old man dies a painful shameful death before the eyes of
a brother.” Because this humiliation is so hard, we
continually scheme to avoid it. Yet in the deep mental
and physical pain of humiliation before a brother we
experience our rescue and salvation. In all these matters
only YOU can mark your vicar out of /10 on these
issues. Fancy a chat or a shoulder, maybe over a
muffin/home made cake or pie. Always looking for an
excuse to do some home baking. So if you need to get
something off your chest the Vicarage door is an open
door or I'll come to you. Or have a go at the ALPHA
course. Warmest Blessings and prayers, Craig
Minister/Vicar.

Brigade Bulletin
A couple of recent call‐outs involving fires have provided a salutary reminder of the importance and usefulness of smoke alarms. Please
take care to check that your smoke alarms are working – they can literally mean the difference between life and death.
Here’s some advice from the New Zealand Fire Service website (www.fire.org.nz/Fire‐Safety/Safety‐Devices):
• Place smoke alarms on the ceiling, since smoke rises and this will give you the earliest warning
• For optimum smoke detection, long life photoelectric smoke alarms should be installed in every bedroom, living area and
hallway in the house
• At an absolute minimum, a long life photoelectric smoke alarm should be installed in the hallway closest to the bedrooms.

CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS
• Herds / heifers & calf sales
• Dairy service bulls/beef bulls
