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.
This Sunday at 9.30am Rev. Claire Wright will lead us in a joyous and thought-provoking celebration of the 2026 ‘Season of Creation’, with its beautiful theme: ‘Living Waters’.
We’ll explore the story of God in the world as the story of water – via an Ancient Greek philosopher and a Disney animation, the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles (celebrated this week) and the World Day of Refugees and Migrants (Sunday) – culminating in a pivotal moment in the life of Jesus!
All welcome.
Afterward the service we gather for a time of connecting and chat over a cuppa. New people and visitors are most welcome to join us.
Bible readings: Matthew: 21: 23-32
