Collects
Amazing grace, Son of God
We acknowledge your silent presence
In the midst of our busy temporary home
Kindly open our minds to discern your will
That we may move from ignorance to insight
Standing up firmly and obediently following Jesus despite the crowd
Through Christ our redeemer,
Amen
Samoan
Le Alo o le Atua, le ua maoae lona agalelei,
I totonu o le vevesi o lenei olaga le tumau,
Matou te lagona ma le mautinoa lou faatasi ma i matou.
Tatala taliga o matou mafaufau ina ia talia gofie lou finagalo
e taiala i lo matou le malamalama ma faapupulaina mata o le pogisa,
ona matou tutu ai lea i ou luma ma le amiotonu ma mulimuli ia Iesu;
ona o le Keriso lo matou faaola,
Amene.
Tongan
‘E ‘Alo ‘oe ‘Otua, koe kelesi fakaofo ‘ae ‘afiona
‘Oku ke ‘afio ‘i ho mau lotolotonga pea ‘ihe lilo,
Tanaki homau ngaahi ‘atamai ke mau ‘ilo ma’u pe ho finangalo ‘i he taimi ‘o ‘emau puputu’u.
Ako’i kimautolu kemau fetukutuku mei he ‘emau tonounou, ki he lelei ‘ae ‘afiona.
Ke mau tu’u ‘ihe talangofua ‘o muimui kia Sisu ko ia koe Kalaisi pea mo homau huhu’i
‘Ameni

The young people of the College of the Diocese of Polynesia – St John’s Theological College, Auckland.
We are lay people of Polynesia studying at different degrees at St John ’s College. Out of ten students, there are five of us who are involved with the youth. We all belong to different youth groups, as a Bishopric we meet once a month. As a college we meet all the time for different things. Our purpose is to hopefully we all go into some sort of ministry – but other than that we just study…..
We hope that when we leave St John’s that we go into youth, administration, education, etc ministry for the church. Please pray for Youth and ministry
