Starting this week we pick up our Summer Series from last year focusing on Colossians. Come and gather with us as we spend time in God’s Word and in worship of Him.
This year the calendar throws up a little oddity. Christmas is on a Sunday. So we get to gather in our regular rhythm. So to help with the consistency our service will begin at:
The Combined Churches of Kaiapoi are excited to once again host Carols in the Park. As always it is at Trousselot Park, Charles Street Kaiapoi. Bring a Picnic Tea and your singing voice.
This event is a great chance to remember the true meaning of Christmas and take a moment to pause amidst the hustle and bustle of the Advent season.
Song booklets will be handed out on the night, or you can simply download a digital version here.
Is a short course that makes managing your money simple. We are running a course over three weeks in November on Wednesday Evenings. Starts November 7th. Contact Jenny our CAP Centre Manager or the Church Office to register.

For two years we have experienced disruption in every area of our lives due to Covid19. Coronavirus and its impact on our lives including our faith has been the elephant in the room for some time, so let’s look at the elephant in the room.
Over summer we will be looking at the Colossians. It is short at only four chapters but packs a punch. This series will give us an insight into this power epistle (letter) from Paul to the believers at Colossae.
