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.
Every person - and every community - will find themselves in the wilderness at some point (maybe several points) in life. Invariably these are complicated and difficult seasons. Most often painful.
But what exactly does the wilderness mean? Is it good? Bad? A punishment? Is God absent?
Well...it's complicated. And within the story of Scripture, common.
Join Rick Dacey and the Wesley Mission team this Sunday, 1st March at 9.30am, as they explore this concept in word and worship and community.
Bible Reading: Matthew 4: 1-11
ALL ARE WELCOME
After the service we gather for a time of connecting over a cuppa. New people and visitors are most welcome to join us.
