Since 2002, God's Pantry has been helping people going through
times of unemployment and poverty by providing them with food parcels.
We are currently catering for 20 less fortunate families / individuals on a
fortnightly basis. We are extremely grateful to the members of our
congregation who sustain us with their generosity and regularity of their
donations. The God's Pantry team is made up of: Letricia Bellis and Ingrid
Barnett.

Don't try to go through separation or divorce alone. Join us on our Divorce Recovery Course. Caregivers minister to, assist and guide those wishing to recover from the trauma, hurt and heartache of divorce. It's a place where you will find caring people who understand the issues you face. While based on Christian principles, the course is relevant and helpful for anyone with or without a Christian faith or church background.

This Ministry plays an important role in the life of the Church, by routinely telephoning every Northfield-associated House-hold, offering prayer, support and encouragement through the various Northfield Care ministries.Contact: Margaret Griffiths (011) 425 1562

Pastoral caregivers are trained to debrief trauma, and minister to the victims of crime, helping them to regain mastery of their lives and to overcome the effects of their experience. Contact: Annamarie Jones (011) 849 - 8441

After the loss of a loved one, caregivers visit the bereaved, offering care, a listening ear and assistance with practical needs and prayer. Caregivers maintain contact, either by home visits or by telephone, for as long as it is deemed necessary. Pastoral therapy, either at the home of the bereaved, or at Pastoral Care, may sometimes be necessary. Caregivers encourage and assist the bereaved family to have closer contact with the community of the Church. On the last Saturday of each month, a widow's 'bring and share' lunch is held.

The Womens Auxilliary meet on the second and third Wednesday of every month, the Morning W.A. at 09:30am in the Wesley Hall and the Afternoon W.A. at 2:30pm in the Grace Room.
