We worship as a community at Manning Uniting Church every Sunday at 9.30am. All are welcome.
Our Worship Service involves participation, both formally and informally. Music, singing, words and images are part of our worship.
Holy Communion is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of the month. The offer to share in the Lord's meal of bread and wine/juice is open to anyone "who loves the Lord and wants to love Jesus more".
Following the service everyone is invited for a cuppa and to enjoy conversation and community time in the auditorium.
2025 CHRISTMAS DAY FAMILY SERVICE @ Manning Uniting Church
Rev. Claire Wright joins us to explore the Christmas Story as told in Matthew’s Gospel. We’ll sing some famous carols (and some not-so-famous), tell lots of stories, and celebrate the birth of Jesus ‘Emmanuel’: God with us.
As we look back at what has been a tough year for many in our community, and what promises to be a tough summer for many others - and as we pause from the general craziness of the ‘holiday season' – we will ask:
What might we feel is ‘missing’ from Christmas this year?
What might live at the heart of Christmas, that we can hold onto, no matter what?
