Examine & Coffee- Wednesday 2pm

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

Worship Service- 9:30am

The sound of children and babies in our congregation is most welcome, after all, Jesus said “Let the children come to me”.  We have a dedicated space and resources at the front of our pews and in our foyer.  Both areas allow the family to be part of the service.  Where you decide to sit is your decision so please know that you are welcome anywhere.
 
At the moment we do not have a regular Sunday School but our dedicated, and eager teachers are ready and resourced to explain and teach God’s word.  All that is required is your expression of interest for your child to be involved.
