COVID Update – 18 August 2021 – Mt Roskill
Message from the Oversight
Our Prime Minister announced last night that Auckland is to be at COVID-19, Level 4 for an initial period of 7 days.
This means for us as a church community, that we must stay at home and stop all physical interactions with others outside of those in our households.
This also means that anyone with a church key must not access our church buildings.
While the COVID-19 alert level is at level 4, we cannot physically meet at church; however we are able to “meet” online.
Just like previous lockdowns, we will be posting a Sunday Morning message for viewing from 11am on the website and church App.
All other physical meetings will be cancelled until further notice, this includes, Christian Encouragement, Sunday School, Gospel Service, Pathfinders, Sunbeams, Rangers, Trackers, Youth Group, Mainly Music, Asian Bible Study, Basketball, Indoor Soccer or any other activities that have been booked into the church calendar.
Throughout this period of COVID-19 alert, the office will be operating from a home base. For any inquiries, requests for prayer, help or assistance over this period, please contact the office on: 021 137 2879 or email church@ccnz.org.nz.
We encourage you all to keep in touch with each other, especially our older people and those on their own who may feel isolated and vulnerable.
We are trusting the Lord for His protection over us all and we are praying for you all at this time.

Message from Pastor – 6 October 2020 – Manurewa
Hello Rewa Church Family,
Greetings and blessings in Jesus Name!
Thankful to Christ for the last few days been such wonderful spring sunshine weather! And may also the warmth of His Love and Joy be flooding your hearts!
Great news today from our Prime Minister in returning Auckland to level one in a couple of days this Wednesday 7th October 11:59pm.
For the last two Sunday’s it’s been terrific having fellowship with all of you who attended in the house of God again, and so I’m looking forward to having even more of our church family join us this weekend!
Beloved, so far this year since the end of March we’ve endured the best part of 6 months in some form of lockdown, confined largely to our homes and certainly kept from fellowshipping together in the house of God. But in all of this time we can acknowledge that God has been ever Faithful in His watching over us individually and as a Church! And He will continue to do so!
“Don’t be afraid, for I have ransomed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine. When you go through deep waters and deep troubles I will be with you.” (Isaiah 43v1&2)
So as I announced yesterday here’s an update on how our week and weekend is scheduled with services:
THURSDAY 8th Oct
7.30pm – Online Bible & Prayer
SUNDAY 11th Oct
Morning Children’s Church 9:45am – In Church Hall
Morning Worship 9:45am – Main Church
Evening Worship 6:30pm – Main Church
We are still required to adhere to Health & Safety protocols so please remember to practice these each time we enter the Sanctuary. Most importantly Do Not attend if you or your children are sick.
A reminder that this Friday evening 9th Oct at 6:30pm – 7:30pm, as announced yesterday we will be having a family time in the church hall for the unveiling of our mural. This is open to all our congregation so come along, see and share!
Well, looking forward to seeing you all sometime soon online, or in God’s house!
God be with you always.
Pastor.
Covid Update – 06 October 2020 – Mt Roskill
We are delighted to advise that Mt Roskill main church and the Asian Fellowship will be resuming normal services from Sunday 11th October.
This will include Sunday Morning Prayer Meeting, Sunday Morning Communion Service with all the Children’s programmes in place, Sunday School (including classes), Sunday Evening Prayer Meeting & Sunday Evening Gospel Service.
Our Thursday evening Christian Encouragement meetings will resume on Thursday 15th October.
At Alert Level 1, there is still a risk of COVID-19 returning to the community. The government encourages us to continue tracking where we’ve been and who we have come into contact with.
As per the government’s requirement, we have placed QR code posters at our main entrances into the building for anyone wanting to record their attendance in this way. Hand sanitisers are spread throughout the complex for anyone to use.
Please remember: Do not attend church if you or your children are sick or feeling unwell.
We are so looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday.
God Bless.

Message from Oversight
Mt Roskill Services
Normal services at Mt Roskill will resume when we are at level 1 with no restricted numbers. In the meantime online services will continue. We pray that we can meet each other again on Sunday 11 October if restrictions are eased during that week and we all look forward to returning to normal.
Camps
The Oversight have made a decision that no camps will be held between now till the end of November. A decision about the Christmas men’s camp will be made in early November at the latest. The camps affected include Ladies camp, Gem’s retreat, Trackers and Sunbeams and Seniors Camp.
We understand many people will be disappointed but we consider we have made the right decision during these uncertain and difficult circumstances. We are confident camps can be resumed as normal next year.

So let us continue when entering the church to:
- Wash hands always

See you all Sunday! God be with you all!…..Pastor
Message from Pastor – 14 August 2020 – Manurewa
Dear Church of Christ Rewa Family,
How are you all getting along in Level 3 lockdown?
After only a few days since my last update here I am again to inform you all of how we are to proceed over the next 2 weeks.
Our Prime Minister has tonight announced that we in Auckland are to stay at Level 3 until August 26th. This means we will NOT be holding any services inside our Church building over this period of time.
To avoid any unnecessary health issues I would ask all church key holders to please NOT enter the church building for any reason.
So here’s the schedule of how our services will go for the next 2 weeks:
Sunday Morning 9:45am Worship & Children’s Church – online
Sunday Evening 6:30pm Service – temporarily cancelled
Thursday Evening 7:30pm Bible & Prayer – online
All other gatherings at church are temporarily cancelled.
Beloved, with COVID-19 showing up again this way I know you all will keep praying for our City, Community and Families!
We all have the continued desire for all people to hear and embrace the Truth of God’s Word, and that they will come into a personal relationship with the Living God.
No doubt there’ll be reason for me to address you all sometime soon with further updates but until then I’ll look forward to seeing you (by faith, not by sight) this Sunday online!!
Ephesians 3:14-16 (ESV) “For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of His glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being.”
God bless and keep you all in His love and care!
Pastor.
