Gatherings
Sung Eucharist, Sunday 10am - 11am
A sung Eucharist accompanied by our beautiful pipe organ is held each Sunday at 10am and on feast days of the Christian liturgical year. We enjoy catholic Anglican prayer book worship, traditional and contemporary hymns, silence, spaciousness and Biblical, liturgical preaching. Followed by morning tea.
Contemplation, Sunday 5pm - 6pm
Our service of Contemplation includes silence, prayer, Scripture reading, music and singing, and is a place to:
-
breathe deeply and share silent meditation with others
-
hold space for your thoughts and feelings, without judgement
-
reflect on your week, the world and the things that weigh on you
-
engage in prayer (whatever that means to you)
Followed by refreshments.
Meditation, Tuesday 9am - 9.30am
This includes a short reading from the Christian contemplative tradition, some pre-recorded music, and 15-20 minutes of silence.
Sanctuary: a place to belong
Tuesday 6pm - 7.30pm
Sanctuary: a place to belong is a shared meal, asking questions and encouraging one another in faith. Whether you’ve been following Jesus for years, you’re just curious, or you’re returning to church, you’re very welcome.
Said Eucharist, Wednesday 10.30am - 11.15am
A simple, said Eucharist incorporating an opportunity for all to expound the Scripture readings together in conversation. Followed by morning tea and Get Out for Good.

The Deep Spring Meditation Community meets on Wednesday evenings during term time. We include guided mindfulness meditation, short readings from Scripture and the contemplative tradition, as well as an extended period of silence. Followed by refreshments.
Lectio Divina, Thursday 6.30pm - 7.30pm
Group Lectio Divina is held online on Thursday evenings during term time. The ancient method of Lectio Divina, which literally means divine or sacred reading, is a way of reading or listening to Scripture “with the ear of the heart” for the stirrings of the Spirit. If you would like to receive the online link, please contact us.
