Children and Family

Messy Church is held within the 9.15am Church Service on the 5th Sunday of the month .

We start by joining the 9.15am Sunday Service, on the 5th Sunday of the Month for opening prayers.  We then leave the Service to work on different activities with a different theme each 5th Sunday.  We rejoin the Church Service to present our theme and activities and to finish in prayer and communion.   After the Service, there will be a special brunch shared with all the parishioners, and more activities available.

Fifth Sundays for 2026 are: 29th March, 31st May, 30th August, and 29th November.  We also hold Messy Christmas Eve 24 December each year at 5pm, where we present a nativity dress up and play.  There is also a pre messy Christmas Eve within the 9.15am Service the Sunday before, for those who have commitments on Christmas Eve.

Keep an eye on facebook ​for details and updates, or email our office  to join the mailing list (or phone us on 9580 1192 - if the phone is unattended, the call will be automatically diverted to the vicar's mobile).

Sunday Service

Our Sunday Service Starts at 9.15 am and goes for about an hour, with morning tea​​​​​​ afterwards.

​​​There are also activities available in the Church space, for children who wish to stay in the service, that connects them with what is going on.  We welcome older children to be involved in helping with our worship.

Baptism, Admission to Communion, Confirmation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These rites of the Christian faith require preparation for children, and parents concerned.  We strive to support, encourage, and enable open discussion throughout this journey.  

 

Parents are encouraged to grow in understanding and practice of their faith.  Regular attendance at Sunday Worship, and interaction with fellow worshipers, also helps grow understanding and practice in our faith, and encounter with God.

When Jesus uttered his beautiful words, ‘let the children come to me and do not hinder them’ (Matt 19:14) he set the benchmark for us. We want to continue to be a Church where children and families are welcome and participate fully. We want to be an open community where people of all ages gather and interact. We want to be a Church where children and young people are fully engaged and have every opportunity to flourish and grow. We want to be a safe place and to put no barriers in place that will harm or hinder children and young people.

Code of Conduct for Child Safety documents for full information.
