We want to thank you and encourage you that through your prayers and support, the ministry and mission of the church has continued unhindered. It is encouraging to see that the Good News of God’s love and grace has in fact been able to move beyond the confines of a church building to touch lives that we may never have otherwise been able to reach. We have even been able to conduct online Pastor’s conferences, with very encouraging results.

 

So, we give thanks to God!

Dear Church Family,

 

We trust you are keeping well and we thank God for His blessings of being able to stay connected though physically distanced, through our online services, King’s Kidz online and Zoom Life Groups.

 

Just wanted to encourage you that even though we may not have been able to physically meet together as a congregation, the mission of the church has relentlessly continued. The Good News of God’s word has moved beyond the confines of the church with many many people logging onto our online services, many students have been blessed and provided for, many of the pastors we partner with in Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India have been provided with assistance, enabling them to navigate these challenging times. In addition we have seen new people join in at our Zoom Life Groups and even a baptism take place. So God is powerfully at work!!!

UPDATE 26 MARCH 2020

​

Dear Church Family,

 

Subsequent to our communication on 19 March 2020 the following changes will be adopted in accordance with the latest updates from the Australian Government. These changes will remain in place until advised otherwise.

 

SUNDAY SERVICES

​

• LIVE STREAMED - Though we will not be conducting services at CWC we will be live steaming a service to you at 10.30am each Sunday. The link will available on our website (cwc.org.au) and via Facebook.
   

This is a great reminder to us that the church is not a building but it is people! And though we cannot physically meet together we can still be one in Spirit as we Live Stream the service into our homes.

 

We encourage you to make this a meaningful time of worship and being encouraged in the word.

 

LIFE GROUPS
 

Life Group meetings will be temporarily cancelled.

 

PRAYER MEETINGS

 

Will continue in YOUR HOME. Let’s all commit to spend the regular Monday prayer time (8-9pm) in prayer in our individual homes. We have a significant role to play in the destiny of our nation, and though we might be separated by distance we can raise up a unified prayer as a church, praying at the same time with one accord.

 

SUPPORT
 

If you are unwell or facing a challenge please feel free to call your life group leader or one of the pastors so that we can pray with you, encourage you and support you. Remember you are not alone; we are a body and if one part hurts the whole body hurts (1 Cor 12:26)

​

ASSIST

There are some in the body who have experienced hardship due the current situation and at this stage don’t seem like they are eligible to any government assistance. As a church we are trying to make some provisions available to them (Vegetable oil, dhal, tea, sugar, long life milk, chick pea tins, Rice 5kg, canned tuna etc). If you would like to assist with sourcing any of these items please contact Ps Andrew (andrew@cwc.org.au) or if you would like to make a contribution towards this you could do so via EFT (Details on the church website).

 

We can take to heart Paul’s advice to the Philippian believers… “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Phil 4:6-7

​

15 MARCH 2020

​

Dear Church Family,

 

 

As we face a ever changing world, we have an incredible opportunity to let our faith, hope and confidence in Jesus shine above the uncertainty around us.

 

As a church we are following the direction of the Government as they keep the country informed about the COVID-19 virus. This is an enormous responsibility and one we will continue to pray for as they lead our country.

 

We also want to ensure that we provide you with sound information regarding our church’s approach in the weeks and months ahead:

 

1. We will continue to monitor the advice and direction of the government and follow the direction that it issues

2. We will ensure that the highest hygiene measures are used within the whole church building with extra focus on the high traffic area’s throughout the building

3. We encourage you as good stewards of his house to use sound judgement if you or someone you know is unwell or showing symptoms associated with the virus. We recommend you refer to your GP for medical advice, stay home if you are unwell and ensure you prioritise your health.

4. We encourage you to follow the health advice issued by the Chief Medical Officer relating to prevention:

   1. Wash your hands frequently

   2. If unwell avoid contact with others

   3. Exercise personal responsibility for social isolation

5. Let us avoid fear and panic based conversations - 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”

6. Let us exercise grace and wisdom in our daily lives and in our dealings with others - Colossians 4: 5-6 “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone”

 

Our services, life groups and prayer times will continue as usual unless we are instructed otherwise by the government and we will communicate this to you. We pray that during these very challenging times, the light of the church will be the hope of the nation. We believe in a mighty God and His grace to prevail in our nation.
