Covid-19 update (Plan B)

/ Admin

Tonight New Zealand goes into lock-down to try an prevent the spread of Covid-19 (AKA Corona Virus) and all physical gatherings of the Harbour House Church are postponed until after the lock-down is lifted.

Virtual gatherings however are all go!! Tonight we ran a successful trial with the Wednesday night home-group using Zoom Video Conferencing and are looking to use this more often in the coming weeks. We’ll be posting more details on this soon.

We’ll also be posting bible readings starting with Philippians so we can work through this time together – check the new page for more.

Check the government website for the latest updates & information on the Covid-19 response

IMPORTANT – Service Cancelled

/ Admin

As you’ll be aware, the Covid-19 virus (AKA Corona Virus) continues to spread in NZ and the government has closed the boarders and made a number of recommendations for us to all play our part in reducing its impact. Social distancing, which is keeping at least 1m from each other, banning gatherings of more than 100 people and for people over 70 to stay at home.

We’ve decided it would be unwise to continue to meet at the moment and have canceled the serviced. Can you please pass it on.

We are working on some ‘online’ alternatives to stay in touch with you all, but in the meantime I’d encourage you all to make a point of checking in which each other (via phone) and keep each each other and the community in prayer.

If you have any needs then email or call us and we’ll see what we can do to help.

Got Questions?

/ Admin

If you’ve never read the Bible or been to church (and sometimes even if you have) the Big Questions of life can remain unanswered or confusing.
Getting a straight answer without needing a degree in theology can be difficult!

We are very lucky to have a local man Rev. Dick Tripp, a retired Anglican Minister, who has turned the many hours he spent discussing these Big Questions with people exploring Christianity into very easy to read series of 25 short booklets,with topics like With So Many Religions, Why Christianity? and If There Is A God, Why Is There So Much Suffering?.

It’s an excellent resource and is can be read online, downloaded or read on Kindle, and if you’d like to talk over any questions you have in person, just drop us a line 🙂
