Godly Play.
Children are spiritual too!
“Children are spiritual.”
““Godly Play is based upon the recognition that children have an innate sense of the presence of God. The Godly Play approach ... enhances the child’s authentic experience of God so it can contribute to the creative life of the child and the world.” ”
We cherish children, both as they are now and for the people they will become. We include children as important members of our church family.
Our children’s ministry draws from the best aspects of Godly Play
It is open for children 3-12yrs.
Registration is from 9:45am. Children begin the morning with their family and join the children’s time about 15 minutes in.
Small children (0-2yrs) have a play and activity area in the auditorium with parent seating beside it. Older children are welcome here if you prefer or while you check us out.
We also have a parent room and change facilities available for your convenience.
We are a CoCWA Safechurch.
Clusters and Shared Tables
“Eat. Drink. Pray.”
Food and wine are on the table. Being part of a faith community means spiritual life is on the table too. Shared Tables encourage you to invite some people to your table to share a meal with you, as a way to commit ourselves to love one another and to follow Jesus. Shared Tables will sometimes need a little help from our pastoral team to stay both fun and meaningful, so let us know if you are going to give this a go so we can support you.
“Listen well, reflect deeply, and learn together in community.”
Have you ever found that there's not enough time in church gatherings to go deep into the treasures of scripture and theology? We have. That's why we've setup a persistent online community where we can have ongoing discussions about things that really matter. The Exchange is a place where we can listen well, reflect deeply, and learn together in community.
Friendship Fridays 10 am weekly. (In recess during January)
“Friendship is a sheltering tree. Samuel Taylor Coleridge”
Friendship Friday is a community time every Friday from 10am at the Church and Community Centre 68 Waverley St Dianella.. Anyone can come. It’s a good place to meet a few people, have a little fun and, if you are new to Australia, practice your English with friendly people. Cost is $5 and includes morning tea.
Club Friday. On the second and fourth Fridays between 10am & 11:30am a group of mainly retired and semi retired people enjoy a range of social activities including indoor bowls, craft and table games.
Coffee Friday is on the other weeks and we meet for conversation, coffee and a lot of cake! Pastor Mon says you can bring your knitting or crochet if you want!
Check it out one week.
