Community Connections

Joy Davis was recently joined by Ruth Wilson for one of our Support Sundays. This is an initiative where we connect with church communities across Otago, which offers a valuable opportunity to meet parishioners and learn about what’s happening in each local area.

“It is so good to celebrate together, the impact we are having, what the successes are and to talk about where any needs may be,” shared Joy. “These are local people meeting local needs, and it is a great recipe for permanent positive change and we love being part of that."

"It was an honour to visit Eveline Presbyterian Church as I began in my role of Development and Engagement Manager. What an encouraging experience to meet a church community so intentionally engaged in their wider community.

"They were celebrating Harvest Sunday, and I watched as people arrived with arms full of groceries and freshly grown produce. These gifts were laid out at the front of the church, and following the service, were carefully packed into boxes for families supported by our Family Works Oamaru team.

"Eveline Presbyterian Church is one of many churches, individuals, organisations, and businesses who join with us in bringing hope and support to our communities."
