Superintendent - Northcote Takapuna Methodist Parish
We gather with humble hearts, recognizing we haven’t always been the best caretakers of this beautiful Earth. In our pursuit of convenience, we’ve taken too much and given too little back, neglecting the unity of all life and the Spirit of God within it. Today, we acknowledge our shortcomings and seek forgiveness. May we open our hearts to the divine light that guides us in healing the Earth and ourselves. Together, let’s take bold actions, inspired by the unity of all life.
We are all in this together, united by the divine light that illuminates our path. Every step we take towards better care, every act of kindness towards the Earth and each other, brings us closer to the wholeness we seek. With renewed dedication and hope, let us move forward, trusting in the presence and power of the Spirit of God within us to transform ourselves and our world. May we be beacons of light, healing the Earth and healing ourselves, embracing the sacred in all that we do.
