Church Notes

Overseas Deputy

By the time this is in the hands of the readers Rev. Neil Ross will have completed half of his overseas visit as Church Deputy. During that period he visited Canada and Australia, assisting at the Communions in Chesley, Vancouver and Grafton, as well as supplying Sydney for some Sabbaths. He is now in New Zealand and will visit the congregations there, as well as supplying Auckland for a number of Sabbaths. He was due to assist at the Gisborne Communion on the last Sabbath of October. Mr Ross expects to make short stays in Vancouver and Toronto on his return journey and is expected in this country at the end of December (D.V.). We trust that he will be upheld in all his duties and be brought back safely to his home and congregation in due time.

Zimbabwe Mission — Staff Vacancies

GENERAL — Post of Administrator/Treasurer.

JOHN TALLACH SECONDARY SCHOOL — Graduate Teachers (Four Posts) with qualifications in English, History, Geography and Mathematics.

MBUMA HOSPITAL — A doctor is still urgently required, also a further Nurse/Midwife and preferably with teaching experience.

With the new situation that exists in Zimbabwe consequent upon independence it is desirable that all of the seven above posts be filled as soon as possible. The work provides a real challenge to all who may have these necessary qualifications, and all our Church people should make the needs of our Mission a matter of constant prayer.

Enquiries to Rev. A. Murray, F.P. Manse, Lairg, Sutherland, IV27 4EH. Telephone 0549-2176.
