(Redwood meeting today – June 4) Congregational Meeting – Notice is given of a Congregational Meeting to decide on the following motion:
‘That The Village set the insurance for the buildings at Bryndwr and Papanui, and for the Manses at Truman Road and Virtue Place at ‘Reinstatement (or Replacement)’ cover, and that the insurance for the building at Redwood be set at ‘Indemnity’ cover.’
Reinstatement (or Replacement) Insurance Cover: provides cover for repairs or replacement of the building as new.
Indemnity Insurance Cover: provides cover to put the congregation in the same position it was in before any loss, allowing for the depreciation of the building. It will not provide the funds to totally reinstate the building in the event of loss.
The Village Elders’ Hui – June 2023
The topic of Eldership is not something that comes up all that often in The Village, however, we are a Presbyterian Parish, part of the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand, and as such are inherently tied to the idea of Eldership. The term ‘Presbyter’ from which the name ‘Presbyterian’ finds its roots in, is a word from the New Testament, often translated as ‘Elder’. We are a church governed or ruled by elders.
Dan is interested in getting together with all those who have been ordained as Elders to chew over what our current understanding of Eldership is, to get a gauge on how we feel about the current status quo, and whether or not we see a need to invest in that understanding more.
Dan invites you to a conversation on Eldership in The Village. Sunday 25 June, 4:30pm, The Lounge @ Papanui with Drinks and nibbles.
