The Assembly Executive Secretary Rev Wayne Matheson has written today to all parishes, ministers and presbyteries to advise on the Government announcement that NZ will take a graduated approach to entering Level 2, and that gatherings at this level during this time remain limited to 10 people (this will be reviewed by the Government in 14 days).
"In the light of this, I want to refer you to my communication of 23 March 2020, and to restate that all physical gathering for public services of worship in the Presbyterian Church remain suspended.
"We will evaluate this as the Government reviews its guidelines in the weeks to come.
"Later in the week, we will provide some further advice to assist you as you prepare for the lifting of restrictions so that gatherings of larger sizes can take place safely...." Read and download the full communication from the AES.
