The growing population in the Hawea area has led the Upper Clutha Presbyterian parish to appoint Aaron Johnstone as the new full-time minister at St Ninian’s Hawea Community Church. That is what Aaron Johnstone, the new full-time minister at St Ninian's Hawea Community Church, has to offer to the communities of Lake Hawea and Hawea Flat. For the past two years, Mr Johnstone has been an intern at the Presbyterian Church's Upper Clutha Parish, under the guidance of Rev Ian Hislop. The pair moved back to New Zealand and to Wanaka two years ago, where Mr Johnstone began his internship at the Upper Clutha Parish. Another child is expected next month, and they were looking forward to being a part of the Hawea community.
