Worship is at the heart of Christian community; worship in contemporary language that is joyful, relevant and reflects the long traditions of the church. We embrace both traditional and new ways for participation.

The main service for the week includes prayer, scripture reading, a relevant message and joyful singing led by the choir and pipe organ. Members of the congregation participate in leading aspects of the service. All are welcome to attend.
Holy Communion is celebrated on the 1st Sunday of the month. We practice an open table and welcome all people.
There are many styles of worship. This quarterly all age service offers a way for everyone to connect with the themes and ideas of the day in small activity groups. These groups create items for use in future services.
This informal midweek service examines the text and examines ourselves through conversation about the day’s scripture and prayers. Come and join us. This is a great way to reflect or connect with God in the midst of a busy week. Our gathering is often via Zoom and sometimes in person. Either method allows us to enjoy coffee or tea and a friendly chat afterwards.
Our MInister will happily provide you with details and materials for use each week. minister@highfieldroadcanterburyuc.org.au
There is also a Sunday Service for the Christian Orthodox Church Saint Filoteea from Arges. An Orthodox Parish under the Romanian Orthodox Patriarchate with the mission of catering for the spiritual needs of the Romanian diaspora in Australia and facilitate the access to the Christian way of life to all interested, regardless of ethnicity. Our aim is to imitate Christ in our daily lives, and become united with Him through communion with the Holy Sacraments in the Holy Liturgy which is celebrated every Sunday from 11.30 a.m. in Romanian and English.
