Different worship for all sorts of people
One of the riches of the Anglican Church’s tradition is that we have lots of different styles of worship for all sorts of people. It is in coming together for worship as the people of God that we believe that we begin to learn what it means to carry out Jesus’ teachings in the gospels – worship is where we’re immersed in the gospels and receive the strength to live them out.
In our parish we’re experimenting with a range of services to help people in their walk with God.
You could try, for example:
All Age Worship: 9.30am on the first Sunday of each month, St Paul Korumburra. This is an informal, lively and interactive worship service for all ages. Children are specially catered for, with regular visits from puppets and children’s talks and activities. Adults have an opportunity to worship in a more informal style.
Reflective Worship (in the Taize style): 5pm on Sunday 12 July 2009, St Paul Korumburra. This is a quiet, reflective and meditative time for worship giving space for you to sit with God, listen to the Word of God, sing some Taize chants, and experience silence and candle light.
The Lord’s Supper (1662 Book of Common Prayer): 2.00pm on Sunday 14 June, St Paul Korumburra. The Book of Common Prayer of 1662 was the normal form of worship for Anglicans in Australia until the mid-1960s. Older people used to this form of worship may enjoy stepping back into the past to appreciate the richness of Anglican liturgy and sing old favourite hymns.
