Wellington / Wairarapa Extend Call
At a meeting at St Pauls Lutheran Church in Wellington yesterday, Sunday 23rd September, Pastor Jim Pietsch – currently serving the Melbourne North West Regional Ministry Multipoint Parish in Victoria – was called to be Pastor of St Pauls Wellington and St Francis Mauriceville West. Please ask the Lord of the church to bless Jim as he listens to God speak through his Spirit and as he discerns God’s will with respect to this call. And pray for the members at St Pauls and St Francis as they continue to wait for a new pastor.
  • Lord God, we pray in the words of the psalmist: lead us in your truth and teach us, for you are the God of our salvation; for you we wait all day long. By your Holy Spirit instruct your servant, Jim, as he considers the call to serve your people in Wellington and in the Wairarapa; reveal to him the way he should choose. Amen. (Ps.25:1,5,12)
Mā te Atua koe e tiaki
God be with you.
