We have been celebrating the start of new Placements in our Presbytery, the final induction for the year as follows:
Northern Hub New Growth Minister, a newly created Ministry Position on the Central Coast. Liam's Ordination will be from the Epping Congregation, where he started his Candidature. 
patience and tension can be further stretched/ raised to breaking point and feelings of loneliness and disconnection are exacerbated. So Christmas can be a challenging time.
