New Location Pastors

Kia ora e te whānau, Simon and I are so excited to be back serving at East as Location Pastors, and as we step back into the role we just wanted to write a short note to you all about practically what it will look like in the near future. In case you weren't at the service last Sunday, we thanked and prayed for Dan and Hannah, and Simon and I were commissioned into the role. We shared that we will be doing it on a part time basis (6 hours/week each) and so we are continuing to lean into the great team culture Dan and Hannah have built. That means we lead alongside a growing Leadership Team, where every person plays the part that they have the capacity and the gifting to play.

Simon will continue to be involved in supporting at Mt Vic and will be at East 2 out of 4 Sundays until the end of the year, with a view to that being 3 out of 4 from the start of next year. I (Jenny) will continue to be at East 3 out of 4 Sundays and will use the other Sunday to visit and support other Locations across the city.

We are so expectant and hopeful for this next season of East's journey and we know that as we continue to press into prayer, our God will do more than we can ask or imagine. So happy to be on this journey with you all.

Much love, Simon and Jenny
