Greetings / He Mihi
E ngā mana, e ngā ihi, e ngā wehi, koutou katoa te rangatira e awhi ana, e hapaitia ana ki ngā Ririki i ngā whānau, i ngā hapori puta noa i Aotearoa, tēnei te mihi nui ki a koutou katoa.
Karakia whakatuwhera mō ngā mātua me ā rātou Ririki / A Prayer
E te Atua, mā te tauira o ngā mātua ka mārama ai te tamaiti he aha te aroha; meinga mātou kia tika, kia tū ai mātou hei tūrangawaewae mō te tapu me te mana o ā mātou Ririki. Mauri ora e te Atua. Āmine.
God, a child learns to love because someone loves them first; make us worthy of this trust that we may be a place of safety and belonging, to nurture the sanctity and power of our children. Amen.
