Who we are
In the 1990's, the Isthmus of Avalon, now known as The Parish of the Holy Spirit, consisted of five separate parishes, including Norman's Cove, Chance Cove - Little Harbour, Arnold's Cove, Sunnyside and Random South. These parishes provided ministries to 16 congregations facing out migration, lower birthrates, an aging population and changing work patterns. With limited resources it became necessary to restructure.
To provide a more efficient and unified ministry to these congregations, the Isthmus Ministry Project began in 1997 with the formation of three Parishes: Arnold's Cove, Random South and Norman's Cove. The goal was to move toward a one unit structure with ministry provided by a team of three full time, one part time Clergy working with a group of dedicated laity. If successful, this new structure would become a role model for other Parishes to follow.
A two-year pilot project began in 2002 with the Parishes of Arnold's Cove, Random South and Norman's Cove amalgamating into one and adopting the name, 'The Parish of the Holy Spirit'. Under this new model 16 congregations were divided into three pastoral units governed by one Parish Council.
Today we remain a three-unit structure as follows:
Unit One including the congregations of Norman's Cove, Chapel Arm, Chance Cove and Little Harbour under the Pastoral Care of The Rev.'d Sheila White Unit Two including the congregations of Arnold's Cove, Come By Chance, Sunnyside, North Harbour and North West Brook under the Pastoral Care of The Rev.'d Darroch Fagan. Unit Three including the congregations of Hillview, Hatchet Cove, Queen's Cove, Long Beach, Hodge's Cove and Great Heart's Ease under the Pastoral Care of The Rev.'d Nelson Chatman.
While we have seen many changes over the past 15 years, we recognize that further restructuring will be needed as we continue to move toward a vision of a vibrant community on the Isthmus

I ask for...
I ask you neither for health nor for sickness, for life nor for death; but that you may dispose of my health and my sickness, my life and my death, for your glory... You alone know what is expedient for me; you are the sovereign master, do with me according to your will. Give to me, or take away from me, only conform my will to yours. I know but one thing, Lord, that it is good to follow you, and bad to offend you. Apart from that, I know not what is good or bad in anything. I know not which is most profitable to me, health or sickness, wealth or poverty, nor anything else in the world. That discernment is beyond the power of men or angels, and is hidden among the secrets of your providence, which I adore, but do not seek to fathom.
