Congregational Meeting today
The purpose of the meeting is to elect 4 parish members to the Ministry Settlement Board (MSB) being set up to arrange ministry for the role in our new mission initiative at Papanui.
At our meeting in July we agreed to, depending on funding, ask that Presbytery form a MSB. As we have received confirmation of funding being available, we now move to start this part of the process.
The MSB is made up of a Convenor plus one other as Presbytery appointments, 4 members of the parish, and two members of the Parish Council. We have communicated to Presbytery that we would like the MSB established and they are happy to proceed.
Friendly Circle Lunch – Tuesday 14 November 12 noon, at the home of Laurie and Jennifer. Please contact Pat or Jennifer for details or to rsvp (for catering numbers).
