Diana commenced work on November 17th, her office hours will be 9:00am to 2:00pm Tuesday through Friday. Diana has experience in Library science and office management. She has a BA (Hons.) in Classics, B.Theol. (Hons.) Otago, and a Master of Library Science. There will be an orientation period so, we ask for some patience as procedures are being put into place as she learns the job.
A new manse has been purchased at 39 Hawtrey Terrace, Churton Park, Wellington 6037. It will be available for occupancy from December 17th. So, I (Rob) am commuting intermittently from Palmerston North to Wellington. The Palmerston North manse is being prepared for sale.
St Matthew Hamilton has issued a Letter of Call to Pastor John Davison to serve as their pastor, and also be responsible for regional ministry in the Bay of Plenty. We ask God’s gracious direction on John as he considers the call to move to New Zealand and serve here. My thanks to our Vice President Milton Fritsch who handled each aspect of the call process.
Graduate Pastor Chris Janetzki has been assigned to Upper Moutere Parish. He and his wife Haidee are excited about the move in February. The members are involved in getting some more renovations done on the manse. They say it will be looking good.
The next edition of the Olive Tree quarterly will be out soon with a Advent and Christmas edition. We will include a link to a web version of the OT in the next Update for those who do not receive it at church or by post.
May the God of all peace give you the peace that passes all understanding through Christ Jesus our Lord.
President Robert Erickson
Lutheran Church of New Zealand
