Jesus practised radical inclusion!
Woden Valley Uniting Church welcomes all, regardless of age, race, creed, gender, cultural background or sexual orientation.
Sunday morning “in-person” worship, our main service, is held at 10 am in the Main Hall. You don't have to dress in any particular way, and you can sit anywhere you like; there are no 'reserved' or 'usual' seats. The services are also broadcast live via Zoom. To access the broadcast, use this link: Sunday Worship Service.
The Order of Service for each Sunday's service, usually posted by the Friday before, is here.
You will find in this service familiar elements of a Uniting Church service of worship with a message, prayers and hymn singing. Passing of the Peace is always practised. We usually sing a Psalm. We value Biblical scholarship and progressive Christian theology.
Participation of members of the congregation in the service, for example in leading prayers, is encouraged. At the end of the service we may share joys and concerns.
Communion is offered on the 4th Sunday of the month. If you are joining the morning service on Zoom, you are encouraged to have some bread and juice or wine on hand in order to participate in the sacrament at the appropriate time.
For those gathering in person, there is morning tea/coffee following the service.
Gathering@6 start again on Sunday February 9
Gathering@6 is a small informal evening service “in the round”. It has three main elements: a simple liturgy including music; sharing of joys and concerns, about our own lives and about the wider world; and a discussion led by one of the group.
The topics discussed have included: The notion of pilgrimage; looking again at the Apostles Creed; 'It's a Man's World. Through whose lens is the story told?'; Tolkien and theology; and study of Bible passages, principally from the Gospels of Mark and John. The topics for the month can be found at the Our news tab.
Gathering@6 meets via Zoom, except for the third Sunday of the month, when we join the prayer service in the form of Taize at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Burnie Street, Lyons, at 5.30 pm.
For all our Sunday services and activities, special arrangements apply over the Christmas/ new year period up until the start of the school year.
Visitors to all of our Sunday services and activities are most welcome.
