Ministry Settlement Board (MSB) Nominations: Parish Council is calling for nominations for people to serve on the MSB responsible for facilitating the congregation’s call of a new Minister to the Village Presbyterian Church.
Nomination forms will be included with the Order of Service on Sunday 24 March, and will be available from the Bryndwr and Papanui offices from Tuesday 19 March. We will also send a global email detailing the process, along with a copy of the form, on Tuesday 19 March.
The forms must be submitted to the Office Administrators (at Bryndwr and Papanui) by 11.00am on Thursday 28 March.
The congregation will be advised of who the nominees are in a global email, prior to a Congregational Meeting on for Sunday 7 April 2024 (after the 10am Service, at the Village Bryndwr). If there are no more than four nominees an election will not be necessary, and the appointment of all four nominees onto the MSB will be confirmed at the Congregational Meeting.
If you do not have access to email and would like the names of the nominees, please phone the Parish Clerk, Joy. Joy will have this information from Tuesday 2nd April.
Church Donations: A reminder that March 31 is the end of the financial tax year and a time to think about any additional giving we might make to the church, which will result in a donations tax credit of 33 cents in the dollar from IRD.
