Halifax, Canada Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island Full time

Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Tangier Saint James United Church, Sheet Harbour

**The Anglican Parish of Tangier** and The Sheet Harbour Pastoral Charge of the United Church of Canada are seeking a full-time minister/priest. We are located on scenic Marine Drive (Highway 7) part of the majestic **Eastern Shore** of Nova Scotia. Both denominations are jointly seeking a full-time ordained minister/priest to lead a shared ministry. Our future plan is to have clergy-led services every Sunday, alternating between denominations. Communion services as specified by each worship planning committee. We would alternate ecumenical services on the fifth Sunday as they occur, as well as each requiring additional services at Christmas, Lent, Easter, and memorial services.

The Rectory/Manse, located in Tangier, is a well-maintained three-bedroom property which has a separate inside entrance to the church office. Fiberoptic internet has been installed. The home is just over an hour’s drive from Dartmouth, and 20 minutes from Sheet Harbour which provides many amenities and services. It is only minutes from Taylor Head Provincial Park, with its hiking trails and two beautiful beaches. There is a state-of-the-art pre-primary to 12 school in Sheet Harbour, several restaurants as well as accommodations.

The Anglican Parish of Tangier is a six-point parish with the farthest church (Mooseland) being less than a 25-minute drive from Tangier. We currently worship together one Sunday service per week, alternating between communion services depending on the availability of the priest in charge, and morning or evening prayer. We have two Licensed Lay Ministers plus a team of dedicated lay worship leaders, wardens, and lay people. We have a very supportive congregation who have recently consolidated most of our administration resulting in fewer church meetings.

The Sheet Harbour Pastoral Charge of the **United Church of Canada** consists of three churches, the furthest (Lochaber Mines/Malay Falls) being less than 30 minutes from Tangier. We currently worship together, alternating Sundays between Saint James Sheet Harbour, and Saint James Lochaber Mines/Malay Falls.

We currently have supply ministry twice per month, and our congregation worships at other charges and denominations on the other two Sundays. Popes Harbour United Church holds worship services twice a year for a Cemetery Service in the summer and Hanging of the Greens near Christmas.

We have an active congregation with devoted elders and stewards who continue to ensure that church services and activities take place.

The **Eastern Shore** is known for its rugged wilderness, sheltered coves, salt marshes, windswept headlands, and pristine beaches as well as the stunning 100 Wild Islands archipelago. We have incredible ocean views, world-class surfing, kayaking, and many trail systems. With its vast Atlantic coastline, beautiful lakes and rivers, the area is a paradise for hunting, fishing and boating enthusiasts.

Thank you for your interest in joining us in this exciting new endeavour. We invite you to read our profiles and consider joining us, enjoying life on the Eastern Shore.
