- Counseling Service
- In 2004 I finished the three years training for a Diploma of Counseling and am seconded to the parish for completion of my practical hours.
- Counseling issues for adults include grief, anger, depression, divorce, guilt etc and sharing your concerns with a caring empathic listener may help you come to terms with changes in your life and to move on.
- I am overseen by my Tutor, Lex McMillan, and the Reverend Don Nicholas in the parish, as well as having professional supervision. There is no set charge for 50 minute sessions at the counseling room in the church hall, but a donation is welcome to help with expenses.
- Phone Moya Lethbridge on 367 0129 for an appointment to see if this will work for you.
- Ezee Meals
- The Ezee Meals programme was designed by Des Britten, Wellington City Missioner to meet the needs of those people who are looking for convenience meals, or have difficulty with shopping or in preparing meals.
- The meals are frozen and easily heated ready to eat. They are sold from St. Mary’s kitchen every Wednesday and Friday morning from 10 am to 12 noon, by a group of voluntary helpers either in the kitchen or delivering to customers.
- Every meal benefits community services programmes, and is also a good form of outreach to the community.
- The group are always looking for extra helpers. Contact the Office on 368 5987

- Marriage
- We welcome all those wishing to be married in the Christian Church according to a biblical view of moral relationships.
- We encourage your participation in a marriage preparation course to help you build a strong and lasting relationship.
- We are pleased to be able to consider the re-marriage of divorcees on the understanding that the breakdown of the previous commitment in marriage has been harmoniously resolved by all parties. We often ask for a letter from the previous partner as confirmation.
- We are not able to consider the civil union of two people of the same sex even though they may love each other, as this does not fall within a biblical view of the marriage relationship and therefore falls outside our authority from God.
- Please contact the Vicar for more information. See the contacts page.
- Marriage Break-up
- Divorce is common in our society now and emotionally very painful for all concerned. Many couples leave it far too late before seeking help and advice to rescue their relationship.
- We encourage people to find early support as they begin to struggle with difficulties in their relationship.
- We can also offer support and encouragement for those who have left it too late.
- Please contact the Vicar in complete confidence.
- Anglican Literacy Programme
- To help encourage literacy in primary schools. Volunteer adults go into schools to listen to children read at the request of the school. A number of our congregation volunteer in this way and we are always looking for more adults to act as volunteers. We are also open to hear from more schools who would like help from this valuable literacy support programme.
- See our contacts page for leaders details.
- Rest Home Communions
- We provide regular communion services in all the Rest Home facilities in Levin and visit on request. We also participate in Sunday afternoon worship services in many of the Rest Homes. If you or a relative are moving into one of the Rest Homes in Levin and would like to keep up your contact with a church and possibly receive communion then please do get in contact with Rev Don Nicholas. See details on the contacts page.
