Our worship centres around the celebration of the Lord’s Supper (Eucharist, Holy Communion)
It is fairly traditional Anglican in style based on A Prayer Book for Australia 1995
The prayer book provides us with a Liturgy which is a set form of words followed Sunday by Sunday. There are alternatives provided which are used from time to time.
Churches in our diocese vary as to the degree of freedom used in the way they worship.
The themes of our worship are based on the Church Year, an annual cycle of seasons and days commemorating the life, death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This cycle is slightly different to the secular cycle in that it begins with the season of Advent which starts four weeks before Christmas. The first half of the year relates to various events of the revelation of Christ and finishes with Trinity Sunday.
The second half of the year, Sundays after Pentecost explore the teaching of Jesus in the Gospels as well as relevant New and Old Testament (for the Jewish people Tanakh) writings.
These Sunday readings are taken from a lectionary which relates the readings to the theme of the Sunday in the church year.
If you are interested in coming to know Christ then, in our tradition, sharing in the Worship Sunday by Sunday and experiencing the revelation of Christ in our worship is one of the most important ways.
