Looking for volunteer directees
This year I enter my third year of Spiritual Direction training and thus need some "real" directees to practise on rather than my fellow students. If you are seeking a deeper relationship with God, then please pick up a brochure from the back of the Church which explains what Spiritual direction is - and is not. If after praying about this, you are willing to be one of my practices directees please call Carolyn on 04 0024 4457 or e-mail cascarolyn@bigpond.com. I will be under supervision in offering this ministry and there is no fee.
