This year Christmas day falls on a Sunday. Yes you can attend the service on Christmas day, and get back to family to celebrate the day, open presents for the kids, and enjoy a family lunch together. How can you manage to do this?

This Sunday, 25th December the service will be held at 9:00 am, and will be finished by 10:00 am, so you can get home earlier than usual.

There will be no Morning Tea this Sunday to help you be home in time for the special Day.

We look forward to welcoming many from the community of Manaia. All visitors and enquirers are thoroughly welcome, especially those who are visiting Manaia to see family at this time. And don’t forget to bring the whanau with you!

We will see you at the Gibson Hall, diagonally opposite the fire station in Manaia.

We are not holding any Christmas Eve services this year.

What a wonderful time was had by the children and adults who came.
We will definitely be doing it again next year.

Last year, thanks to COVID, we weren’t able to have our Light Party, so don’t miss out THIS year!

The Light Party is a positive, fun alternative to Halloween. Why celebrate darkness and death when you can celebrate light and life?

With the world falling apart around us, now is the ideal time to press in to the Lord for victory over our true enemies—the world, the flesh, and the devil!

So come along, bring your lunch, a notebook and pen, and a Bible if you have one (we have plenty if you don’t!) and join us for this seminar.

The Gibson Hall, 50 Tahuri Street in Manaia.

See you there at 09:30 on Saturday!

Exciting stuff coming up. If you weren’t able to come last time Jeremy was here you missed some excellent teaching and a wonderful time of ministry. So put this date and time in your diary—and we’ll see you there! He will also be speaking and ministering at the service on Sunday 11th September at the Robert Gibson Memorial Hall at 10 am.

Hi everyone. We are now allowed to meet again in Gibson Hall, and so we will meet on this Sunday 26th September. The government would like us to use masks, but they are not mandatory.

It is with disappointment and sadness that we write to let you all know that Rev Chris and Elwyn Barnes have resigned from the Manaia Community Church to pursue other avenues of ministry that they believe God is leading them into . We have appreciated Chris’s enthusiasm and innovation and for Elwyn’s help with Junior Church and Whanau, Food and Fun and we pray God’s blessing upon them in whatever God leads them into in the future.

Rev Phil Woodmass
