The Revd. Glenys Davis (Kawakawa-Towai LSMU) was absent from our Local Shared Ministry conference at the end of November because she had some big plans.

Glenys, a great-grandmother and mother of Kelvin Davis, MP, had been training to swim in the Russell – Paihia event in the Bay of Islands.

The middle section of the swim was pretty challenging in the conditions but Glenys succeeded in completing the event, with family members waiting to congratulate her.

Everyone at the Conference was aware of Glenys beginning her challenge as we began our morning session, and of course we were upholding her too.

Warmest congratulations, Glenys, from the Local Shared Ministry whanau.
