  • Two Into One – Compiled by Jean D.Turvey
    Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Page 1 Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Page 2 Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Published by Kaiapoi Co-operating Parish 53 Fuller Street Kaiapoi Email - [email protected] ISBN 0-476-00222-2 ©Copyright Kaiapoi Co-operating Parish, February 2004 Printed by Wickliffe Print 482 Moorhouse Avenue Christchurch PREFACE This is a story of three parishes - one Methodist, one Presbyterian, and one Co- operating - worshiping and witnessing in Kaiapoi in three different centuries. It starts with pioneer settlers in a small village half a world away from their homes. It ends - at least this part of the story does - in a burgeoning satellite town. Letters and news originally took months to arrive. Now they are as instant as emails and television. However, through the dramatic changes of the last 150 years runs the common thread of faith. This is a story which needs to be read twice. The first time, read what Jean Turvey has written. In any history there are those people who stand out because of their leadership, strong personalities, or eccentricities. Ministers loom large, simply because they are involved in most aspects of parish life. Buildings feature, because they provide a focal point for congregational life. The second reading of this history is more difficult. You need to read between the lines, to focus on what is not written. The unrecorded history of these three parishes is just as vital as the narration of obvious events and personalities. It consists of people whose names are unknown, but who worshipped faithfully and gave life to these local churches.

  • Dear Cancern Member Earlier This Week Cancern Had a Very
    Dear CanCERN Member Earlier this week CanCERN had a very productive meeting with Fletcher EQR to develop our relationship and exchange ideas. One of the outcomes of this meeting is information that can be passed directly on to residents about EMERGENCY REPAIRS. Fletcher EQR really wishes to ensure all houses are safe, secure and weathertight as we move into winter and beyond and so we have worked together to provide the following checklists. Please note: This information is intended to go to our residents who require emergency repairs, as defined below, to make their homes habitable. Firstly if you have sustained new damage on 22 February you need to lodge a new claim with EQC (call 0800 326 243). When you call, tell EQC that emergency repairs are also required. If you did not make this clear when you lodged the claim, or are unsure, call EQC again. If your emergency repairs are valued under $2000 you can arrange the repairs yourself. Talk to EQC before you go ahead as they will need to authorise the works and may require a quote from the repairer. If your emergency repairs are valued over $2000 they will be allocated to Fletcher EQR to manage. The Hub office in your area will call you to arrange the repairs. This may take a week at the moment, particularly in badly affected areas. If repairs relate to chimney damage, and you have lost the primary means of heating your home, EQC will advise Fletcher EQR’s Clean Heat Hub. They will contact you regarding the winter heating aspect of your repairs.
