Greetings Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

The members of the Moderator Nominating Committee (MNC) have been endorsed by the Synod Standing Committee (SSC): Ps Yurranydjil Dhurrkay, Dr Steve Bevis, Rev Michelle Cook and Stuart McMillan (Convenor). 

 

We ask you to join us to pray for the people with the gifts and graces for the ministry of Moderator.

 

  • A nominee for Moderator will be a person of deep personal faith, a person of prayer and open to the Holy Spirit’s leading.
  • A nominee for Moderator must be able to communicate the vision of the Synod for God’s Mission through the Church, to the Church.
  • A nominee for Moderator will be asked to encourage and enable leadership across the breadth and depth of the Synod. Together with encouraging and facilitating emerging leadership.
  • A nominee for Moderator will be asked to exercise spiritual and pastoral oversight for the whole Church.

I pray that each of you and your family and community has experience Immanu’el in unique ways during this Christmas season. We must continual to uphold family and friends in the South experiencing the horrors of the bush fires that they too experience the love, comfort and sustaining strength of Immanu’el at this time and in the months ahead.
