The first ordination
in the church at St Helens?
At the end of August, Enabler Supported Ministry Team
member Mrs Marjorie Mann was deaconed at St Paul's Anglican
Church in St
Helens, after a recent Calling Out process by members of
the Parish. Members of the community, including
recently-elected Mayor, Mr Robert Legg, and parishioners
witnessed this event in a church filled to overflowing.
(Carole Withers believes that this was the first ordination
to take place in St Paul's Church. Alexander
Withers and Michael
Wakefield were ordained in the Portland Memorial Hall
because the church building was too small!)
St Helens Parish is now in the sixth year of being a
locally supported ministry team with the Rev. James
Collins just celebrating his fifth anniversary of being
our Enabler. We are blessed with the many different
ministries the Lord has given us here and look forward to
our next phase of sharing the Gospel in the Break O'Day
Municipality.
