VETERANS’ CHAMPION. The Champion’s role is not onerous; in summary he or she would act as a focal point for Ministers who encountered Veterans in need within their Parishes by signposting to agencies that can support that need. While there are some 260,000 Veterans in Scotland, only a very small proportion face the serious life challenges that may come to Ministers’ attention, so involvement in this role will be extremely infrequent.
The Relationships and Context committee of Lanark Presbytery are seeking applications from people who would be willing to undertake this role. The person does not need to be an elder, or even a member of the Church, simply someone with the skills, personality and understanding to work with ministers and veterans to signpost to support.
Applications should be with the convener, Rev Mike Fucella (mfucella@churchofscotland.org.uk) no later than 16th August 2019. It would be helpful if the person applying could provide a brief outline of their experience in working with, or dealing with veterans to help aid a decision.
CHAPLAINCY TEAM AT THE STATE HOSPITAL, CARSTAIRS. Every week a service is held within the hospital and attended by some of the patients. Volunteers provide support and friendship to the patients with some volunteers having undertaken the role for over 20 years.
The Relationship and Context committee of Lanark Presbytery would be very happy to hear from individuals who would perhaps be able to give of their time to support this valuable ministry within our Presbytery area.
If you are interested in volunteering more information can be obtained from the convener, Rev Mike Fucella (mfucella@churchofscotland.org.uk)
