St. Paul's, Wairoa, H.B.

We commenced work on April 15th. this year. Our meetings are still being held fortnightly and well attended, there seems to be a much keener interest taken this, year than last. Our Vicar gives, us instruction on the Prayer Book for half an hour, and the rest of the evening is spent m sewing. We are very busy preparing for a Sale of Work, which we hope to hold m November m afft of our Piano Fund. On the 16th May we had a Social to start the Fund and we cleared £8. In July we had another successful evening and our Fund is now up to £26, so we are m hopes of .having a piano of our own very soon. On 12th June we had our Annual Intercession Service- which was well attended, the offertory from same amounting to £1 Bs, was forwarded to the Hastings G.F.S. Lodge Fund. : ' There was a Confirmation Service on the 17th June when, three of our Candidates were confirmed. 'During the Bishop 's ' visit m Wairoa he gave us a very helpful address which was very much appreciated, especially as it was the first address we have had from anyone from outside of Wairoa. ' Our membership now numbers 10 (two members haying withdrawn)' and 8 Candidates. A.D. CHICKEN, Branch Sec and Treasurer.
