Remember in your Prayers

It is with sadness that I inform you of the death of Rev Jannet Mudavanhu.  Jannet had a brain bleed caused by an aneurism on Sunday 13th October. While she had made quite a bit of progress and had a very good day on Thursday, unfortunately she did not wake up on Friday morning and died on Saturday evening.

 

Jannet’s sister Tendai has been with her over the last week and during this time Jannet has been able to communicate with Tendai and others who have been supporting Jannet and her sister.

 

At Jannet’s commissioning service with Trinity Union Parish, she sang her favourite hymn – This Little Light of Mine.  During this last week Jannet’s sister Tendai has spoken of her calling to serve God and to be a light in this world. Her ministries here in Aotearoa has been known for her ability to work pastorally with people and in support of people.  Jannet’s ministries at Hutt City Uniting Congregations, Beckenham, and Trinity Union Parish were defined by her pastoral heart.  During this last year Jannet embarked on further studies to better her understanding of pastoral theology and to equip herself for contemporary pastoral ministry. She was excited about a new ministry appointment in Taranaki. Jannet’s desire to be a light for others has continued in death as she was an organ donor.  Her light will continue to shine through those she has helped in life and in death and of course all her family and friends.  

 

At this time, we offer our love and support to Tendai and the rest of their family and to the people of Trinity Union Parish.  We are thankful for the leadership, spiritual mentoring and life of Rev Jannet Mudavanhu.

 

The funeral for Jannet Mudavanhu will be held at 10:30am on Thursday 14th November, Wesley Church, 75 Taranaki Street, Wellington.  The funeral will be live streamed and details for live stream will be circulated closer to the time.

 

Please note there will be no parking available on site, but there are parking buildings in close proximity to the church.
