The Rt Rev’d Dr Peter Stuart and Nicki Stuart.
On Tuesday, 5th June, the annual Diocesan Service for ALL women (though of course, men are most welcome too!) in the Diocese will take place at St Peter’s, 47 William Street, East Maitland. This will make it easier for those who do not like to drive into Newcastle, and there is plenty of parking.
Guest speaker will be Nicki Stuart, a physiotherapist with the Cerebral Palsy Alliance, working in the Maitland and Upper Hunter with children and adults living with a disability.
Born in New Zealand, Nicki grew up in Morpeth. She has also lived in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. She is part of the Cathedral and Cooks Hill congregations.
The mother of Ben and Rebekah, she also “happens to be married to Bishop Peter”. In her spare time, amongst many things, she manages Bek’s soccer team and creates mosaics. Nicki has a deep love of God’s creation and wonders at how God’s love and grace are continuously moving in and through our world.
Morning Tea will be available from 9.15 at the back of the church, with the Eucharist, to be celebrated by Bishop Peter Stuart, commencing at 10 am. After lunch (which is BYO), students from Hunter Valley Grammar School will provide a musical program with their Senior Piano Trio and the Vocal Ensemble, finishing at 2.30pm.
