To our amazing Church family, we have an announcement regarding changes to how we will do be doing church moving forward.
The past two years dealing with COVID have been difficult as we experienced many challenges preventing us meeting together due to restrictions and lockdowns. However, this presented amazing opportunities for us to continue to minister through online Zoom Church, Social Media and our YouTube Channels. This also enabled us to reach more people beyond our local community.
Recently, when all the restrictions and lockdowns lifted, we’d planned to recommence our church services at Tuggerah PS Hall and start to build our church again. However, we both felt a check that this was not the best option moving forward.
After seeking God for wisdom, we feel it’s time to stop hosting weekly Church meetings including our online Zoom church meetings and take a different approach to how we minister and do church.
While we will no longer host weekly Sunday meetings, this does not mean that we will stop teaching and ministering God’s goodness and on Jesus Finished Work. With the break from the pressure and deadline of preparing weekly messages and setting up and hosting meetings, we plan to take time studying, preparing and recording both messages and new Bible study series for our web site, Social Media and YouTube Channels.
We’re also hoping to spend more time sharing messages within New Life Ministries to specifically to help those who need a breakthrough in healing and fertility challenges.
We are going to miss our weekly connection with our church family. It’s going to take time to adjust and we will miss you all.
We hope that what you’ve learnt from our messages and ministry has laid a strong foundation to help you to continue to rest in God’s love, the Finished Work of the Cross and grow in the understanding that God is only ever and always good.
