Vacancy - Plimmerton Presbyterian Parish

1755691200

We at Plimmerton Presbyterian Parish are seeking a full time, nationally ordained minister, to journey with us in the next phase of our Church’s mission.

Plimmerton Presbyterian Parish is situated in the North Poriua area, close to Wellington and we serve a diverse population.

Ours is a church that has mission at its heart. We value the enabling of evangelism through the connection with organisations in the community and the equipping of people to share the Gospel with the community. We long to see people coming to faith in Jesus Christ and entering into the life of the church. Our mission is underpinned by a strong pastoral ministry. Care of our church family is highly valued with several gifted people serving the pastoral needs of our people. Currently all members’ pastoral needs are covered through membership of a home group or the care of a pastoral care team member.

Scripture teaching is strengthened by the presence of small study groups that meet weekly.

We have invested in youth and children’s ministries for a number of years through hiring full time Youth and Children’s workers.

We are seeking a minister that is a missionary, one who has a passion for connecting with people in the North Porirua region and one who is committed to drawing those people into the life and ministry of the church.

For any enquiries or to explore a call to Plimmerton Presbyterian Parish, please email the Ministry Settlement Board Chair:

Rev Rodney Ramsay at rodneyramsay62@gmail.com

Dunedin Hospital Chapel Help Wanted

1755691200

Bed pushers sought for Dunedin Public Hospital.
A request to Dunedin Parishes and Faith Communities.

After a long break it is hoped to begin Sunday Services at Dunedin Public Hospital in September.

To make this happen we need ‘bed-pushers’. Actually ‘bed-pushers’ are so much more. As well as transporting patients in beds or wheelchairs to and from the wards they are fellow worshippers and assist and support patients during the half hour service.

We are trialling a new worship time of 1.30pm so on their rostered Sunday a team of 6-8 people need to be available from 1.05 to about 3.45pm.

If you are interested or require more information please contact Vivienne Galletly Interim Lead Chaplain (Southern) vivienne.galletly@southerndhb.govt.nz
